Built by a small team who got tired of typing, and decided speaking shouldn't cost anything.
01 The problem
Talking has always been free. Somewhere along the way, turning that talking into text got a price tag attached to it.
A subscription here, a per-minute fee there, a free tier that stops working right when you need it most. We don't think that's fair. Speech to text is not a luxury. It's how a lot of people write faster, work through an injury, manage a disability, or just think out loud without their hands getting in the way. Charging for that access means the people who need it most are often the ones least able to pay for it.
02 Why current tools fail
Most dictation tools ask you to trust them. Arc Flow asks you to choose.
A lot of voice-to-text tools work the same way under the hood: your audio leaves your computer the second you start talking, goes to a server they control, and comes back as text. You usually don't get to see that happen, and you almost never get asked first.
We're not saying every other tool is doing something wrong. We're saying we made different choices, and you deserve to know what they are before you install anything.
03 Meet Arc Flow
Speaking is not a premium feature.
Our vision is simple: speaking should be free, for everyone, always.
Our mission is to build the tool that proves it can be. Arc Flow's core dictation experience, the part that actually turns your voice into words, will never sit behind a paywall. Not as an introductory offer. Not as a limited free tier designed to expire. Free is the whole point, not a phase before the real pricing kicks in.
If you want to use a cloud AI provider for extra accuracy or faster processing, that's your choice, and you pay that provider directly with your own account. We never take a cut, and we never require it.
04 Watch it work
One hotkey, any app.
Browser, email, chat, editor, IDE, documents. If you can type into it, you can speak into it.
05 Everywhere you type
It lives quietly in your tray.
The hotkey works whether the window is open or not. Press Ctrl + Space and your words appear, cleaned up and punctuated, right where your cursor was.
06 Getting started
A little more setup, on purpose.
Most dictation tools have a three-step install: download, run the installer, start talking. Arc Flow has one extra step, and we want to be upfront about why, instead of hiding it behind a slicker demo.
That extra step is where you decide where your voice actually goes. We think that decision is important enough to ask for, even if it costs us a slightly longer setup screen.
Downloads
That one extra step is the entire difference between a tool that decides for you and a tool that asks. We'd rather ask.
08 What it does
Everything you need to talk instead of type.
Dictate anywhere.
One hotkey, any app: browser, email, chat, editor, IDE, documents. If you can type into it, you can speak into it.
Clear, formatted writing appears wherever your cursor is.
Ctrl + SpaceCommand Mode.
Select text anywhere, press a hotkey, and say what you want done with it: "make this more formal," "summarize this," "translate to Hindi." Arc Flow rewrites the selection in place.
Notes Mode.
Speak a thought from anywhere with nothing selected, and it's saved as a note with its own title. No app-switching required.
Ask about the storage provider before the hotkey step, not after.
Automatic cleanup.
Filler words gone. Punctuation and capitalization handled. Say "no, make that five" mid-sentence, and it corrects itself.
um so I think the, the meeting should be at like four no, make that five
I think the meeting should be at five.
Your own writing style.
Set a tone (formal, casual, very casual) per context (personal, work, email), and Arc Flow writes in that voice.
A dictionary that learns your words.
Names, jargon, product terms, anything Arc Flow keeps mishearing. Teach it once, fixed forever.
Snippets.
A spoken trigger phrase that expands into whatever text you define: a signature, a canned reply, a block of boilerplate.

History and stats.
A searchable record of what you've dictated, with word and session counts, so you can see the habit build.
Your choice of AI, cloud or none at all.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, or a custom endpoint for text cleanup. Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Mistral, OpenAI, or Groq for cloud speech to text. All optional, all using your own account.
Built for your hardware.
Arc Flow detects NVIDIA, AMD/Intel, or CPU-only hardware and recommends a model that will actually run well on your machine.
Detected: NVIDIA RTX 4070
Lives quietly in your tray.
The hotkey works whether the window is open or not.
