1. Run the installer
It installs for your user only, so Windows does not ask for an administrator. The Start menu entry is Vaitly Voice.
Windows · x64
VV for Windows.
The same private dictation, on your PC. Hold one key, speak, and the words land where the cursor is.
Latest release
Vaitly Voice 1.1.0 for Windows
- Signed by Vaitly Limited. Windows checks the signature as it installs.
- Dictation runs on your PC. Nothing you say is uploaded.
- Installs for your user only, so there is no administrator prompt.
Install
Three steps. Then you just speak.
2. Allow the microphone
Windows asks once. There is no accessibility permission to grant, unlike the Mac. The speech model downloads on the first run, then dictation works offline.
3. Hold your key and speak
Right Ctrl, or any key you record. Let go, and the words appear where the cursor is.
What you get
Built for Windows, not ported to it.
The same engine
Windows runs the same on-device recognition as the Mac app. Your vocabulary and snippets behave the same way, because it is the same pipeline.
The same licence
A paid plan covers 5 devices, and they do not have to match. A Mac at work and a PC at home is one plan, and a plan bought on either works on both.
One key to talk
Right Ctrl, suggested on the first run, held down or double-tapped to latch. Record any key you prefer, including the macro keys on a programmable keyboard.
Every window
Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, Chrome, Visual Studio, the terminal. Text lands where the cursor is.
Nothing to sign into
Dictation starts without an account. An account exists only to carry a plan between machines.
No cloud recognition
Speech is transcribed on the PC and the audio is not uploaded, so dictation keeps working with the network off once the model has downloaded.
Honest limits
What to know before you install
One app, Free or Pro. The Windows app has the same plans as the Mac: Free for dictation, or Pro for unlimited words, Vaitly Meetings (beta) and Cloud Polish. Speech is transcribed on the PC and the audio is not uploaded; Pro’s AI features send text to Vaitly’s server. See Vaitly Meetings.
Updates are manual. There is no automatic updater yet, on Windows or the Mac, so a new version means coming back here and running the installer again. It keeps your settings, your vocabulary and your history.
Programs run as administrator are out of reach. Windows does not let an ordinary program type into an elevated window, so dictating into an administrator command prompt or Task Manager will do nothing at all. Everything else — Office, browsers, editors, chat — is fine.
64-bit Intel and AMD PCs only. Windows on ARM is not supported.
