How it works

Three keystrokes. That's it.

No setup wizard, no microphone permissions popup on every use, no separate dictation window to manage.

1
Press and hold your hotkey
The floating pill turns red. Your mic is live.
2
Speak naturally
The pill shows a live waveform. Speak at normal pace — the model handles punctuation.
3
Release
Audio is sent to audexum.com/api/transcribe. In under a second, the text is pasted at your cursor.
Features

Global hotkey

Hold your chosen key combo anywhere on your system to start recording. Release to transcribe. Works in any app — terminal, editor, browser, Slack.

Floating pill

A tiny always-on-top overlay shows recording state. Click to start or stop. Stays out of your way when idle.

Paste into any app

Transcript is copied to clipboard and pasted at cursor automatically via OS accessibility APIs. No target app integration needed.

25 European languages

Same multilingual STT engine as the web app. Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, and 21 more — switch language from the tray menu.

Your API key, your data

Audio is sent directly to audexum.com/api/transcribe using your sk_live_ key. No proxy, no desktop cloud account.

Works offline-first

The app shell is local. Only the transcription call hits the network. Sensitive environments can point to a self-hosted endpoint.

Authentication

Your key, your data.

Pair the app with your Audexum account using a single API key. No OAuth, no additional login. Same quotas as the web app — shared across devices.
