Dictatray puts offline dictation wherever your cursor is
A Windows tray app that turns speech into keystrokes in whichever window currently has focus.
Field notes
The application stays in the Windows tray, detects pauses in speech, and writes each resulting phrase as keystrokes into the window holding focus. The page lists nine selectable engines: two local models that work without a network connection and seven cloud options billed through providers selected by the user. One local option is described as a Portuguese fine-tune. The download is a single unsigned executable for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, so SmartScreen will warn on first launch.
