Scout types so you don't have to.

Introducing Scout: intuitive voice-to-text at the speed of thought.

Dictation software keeps failing in the same way: too many small mistakes, too much cleanup, and too much effort to get usable output. Once the friction gets high enough, people go back to typing.

Introducing Scout. Speech and language models are improving fast, and Scout is designed to keep up. It stays connected to the best speech and language models as they improve, bringing those gains directly into the product. It’s fast, lightweight, and won’t slow down your machine. It matches your vocabulary and adapts to how you write in different apps, so what shows up on screen reads like you wrote it.

Scout sits quietly in the background of your PC and is ready when you need it. Your voice can guide writing, programming, prompting, and the day-to-day work you do across your desktop.

Press a hotkey, talk, and your words appear at the cursor — in any app.

Why we charge

Scout is cloud-first. The best speech and language models are built by large research labs with massive R&D budgets. Scout stays connected to those models and focuses on turning them into a real desktop product:

  • State-of-the-art Voice Dictation: Continuously updated with the best speech models available
  • Dictionary: Custom vocabulary with contextual biasing — your terms are injected into the speech model for acronyms, proper names, and anything it won’t know on its own
  • Context Awareness: Reads where you’re working and injects that context into the model to improve accuracy
  • App Styles: Per-app writing styles and fine tuning
  • Magic Edit: A fast, voice-controlled writing editor powered by the latest language models

Scout is a paid product because running on the strongest available models costs real money. Audio streams directly from your desktop to the speech provider — it never touches Scout servers.

What you get

Scout is built around the details that make dictation actually useful: a custom Dictionary that learns your words, Magic Edit for voice-controlled rewrites, Quick Phrases for common snippets, and App Styles that adapt your tone per app.

  • Scout Free: 2,500 words per week, works in every app, Dictionary, and App Styles. A real way to use the app every day.
  • Scout Pro: Unlimited dictation, Magic Edit, Quick Phrases, and priority support. Built for power users.

All users get the core desktop workflow: push-to-talk dictation, hands-free mode, Dictionary, Quick Phrases, and more.

What’s on the horizon

Scout is early, and the roadmap is focused on going deeper where it matters most:

  • Improved reliability for code editors, terminals, chat apps, text editors, and browsers
  • Accuracy improvements across the desktop experience
  • Team accounts with user management, seat controls, and admin features
  • Compliance support, including HIPAA
  • Enterprise capabilities — auditability, security controls, and deployment options as demand grows
