What VoiceWink is

VoiceWink is voice-to-text for Windows 11. Type at the speed of speech. Press a hotkey and talk. The text lands where your cursor is, in any app. With App Mode, AI enhancement rewrites what you said for the app you are in: an email in Outlook, or a clean prompt for a coding agent such as Claude Code. Say “generate an image” and you get a picture instead.

Speech-to-text runs on the user’s own PC by default (NVIDIA Parakeet or Whisper, on the graphics card or the CPU). AI enhancement runs on the user’s PC too, with built-in AI models. It can also use the user’s own AI server, such as Ollama or LM Studio, or a cloud provider with the user’s own key. Voice-to-image uses the user’s own API key, at the provider’s prices. VoiceWink runs no cloud transcription service, and there is no VoiceWink account.

Who builds it

Portrait of Dieter Verlaeckt

I’m Dieter Verlaeckt, a solo developer in Belgium, and I build VoiceWink for my own daily use: dictating to coding agents all day, I wanted VoiceInk on Windows, found nothing like it, and built it. DV Studio is my trade name. No funding, no team.
