Shadow Whisper is an AI dictation app. Hit one shortcut, say what you mean, and your words come out as a polished email, message, or note right where your cursor is.
That's the whole interface. One pill, one shortcut.
01/ 03
Works in the app you're already in: Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, a form on a random site. One global hotkey, no context switch.
02/ 03
Ramble, backtrack, think out loud. Our AI strips fillers, fixes punctuation, rewrites the rough edges, and keeps your voice.
03/ 03
The finished sentence lands exactly where you were typing. No copy-paste dance, no extra tab to manage, no rhythm broken.
Why Shadow Whisper
The big names in dictation charge like an enterprise suite. The "run-it-yourself" projects cost you CPU, battery and weekends. Shadow Whisper is the sensible middle: as polished as the expensive ones, as fair on the wallet as the open-source ones.
Alternative
Our take
Alternative
Founders & PMs
Dictate a long Slack reply while you walk to the next meeting. Turn a five-minute thought into a clean paragraph without opening a doc.
Writers & marketers
Think out loud, ramble, backtrack. Shadow Whisper turns the mess into a usable first draft, no editor, just your voice.
Developers
Dictate PR descriptions, commit messages, and Notion specs without leaving your editor. The shortcut works inside VS Code and Cursor too.
Customer-facing teams
Fast, on-tone replies for support and sales. Less typing fatigue, fewer "I'll get back to you" stalls.
Product
No busy dashboard. Just a recording pill that lives out of the way, a home screen for your usage, and a history you can search when you need to reuse a good sentence.
01 — CAPTURE
Hit the shortcut and a tiny pill appears at the bottom of the screen. See the wave, see the timer, hit the key again, text drops right where your cursor was.
02 — HOME
The desktop home shows how much you've dictated, how many words this week, and what's left on your plan. Calm numbers, no gamification noise.
03 — REWRITE
"So like, I think maybe we should, you know, reschedule" becomes "Can we reschedule?". Fillers out, punctuation in, intent kept.
04 — HISTORY
Cloud-synced history with search, pins and tags. Find last week's good reply in two seconds and reuse it without re-thinking.
05 — DICTIONARY
Brand names, internal jargon, client names, acronyms. Add them once and every transcription respects them. Your team's vocabulary, preserved.
06 — MODES
Message mode for Slack. Email for Gmail. Code for your editor. Shadow Whisper matches the surface so you don't sound like a template.
