Dictation for Notes
Capture Ideas at the Speed of Thought
Your best ideas don't wait for you to type them out. lowercase lets you speak naturally and watch your words appear instantly in whatever note-taking app you use — no internet required.
Works With Every Note-Taking App
lowercase isn't locked into one ecosystem. It types into whatever app is in front of you — the same way a keyboard does, but powered by your voice.
…and any other app that accepts text input.
How It Works
macOS
Press F5 to start dictating. Speak naturally, press F5 again, and your transcribed text is auto-pasted into the focused app.
iOS
Switch to the lowercase custom keyboard in any app, tap the microphone, and speak. Your words appear right in the text field — no copy-paste needed.
Android
A floating bubble sits on top of any app. Tap it to dictate, and the text is inserted wherever your cursor is. Works system-wide.
Why Dictate Instead of Type?
Faster Than Typing
Speak at 150+ words per minute — 3-4x faster than even skilled typists. Capture more in less time.
Stay in Flow
Typing forces you to think about keys. Dictation lets you focus entirely on the idea you're expressing.
Complete Thoughts
Speaking produces fuller, more natural sentences. Your notes become richer and more useful when you review them later.
Workflows
Student Workflow
Record lecture summaries immediately after class while the material is fresh. Dictate reading notes hands-free while referencing a textbook. Build study guides by speaking through concepts — if you can explain it, you understand it.
Meeting Notes Workflow
Capture action items and key decisions the moment they happen — no scrambling to type fast enough. After the meeting, dictate a summary while context is still sharp. Share clean, complete notes with your team in minutes, not hours.
Research Workflow
Dictate observations, hypotheses, and connections as you read papers and sources. Build an annotated bibliography by speaking your thoughts on each reference. Draft outlines and rough sections by talking through your argument structure.
