"hey um so I wanted to talk about the project update and like we finished the main feature this week and also fixed some bugs and uh the feedback has been really good so far let me know if you have questions"
Hey! Quick update on the project: we finished the main feature this week and fixed several bugs. The feedback has been really positive so far. Let me know if you have any questions!
Press a hotkey, speak naturally, and VivaDicta transcribes, enhances, and pastes the result right where your cursor is — in any app.
Choose from local on-device models or cloud services. Whisper, Nvidia Parakeet, Apple Speech for privacy — or Groq, Mistral, Gemini for speed and accuracy.


39 built-in presets across 10 categories — summarize, translate, rewrite, format, style, social media, study notes, and more. Create custom presets for your specific needs.

Viva Modes automatically switch your transcription model, AI provider, and preset based on the active app — or even the website you're browsing. Email mode in Mail, coding mode in VS Code, chat mode in Slack, a custom mode for specific URLs — all automatic.

Select any text and ask a question about it — the AI Assistant replaces it with a detailed answer. Fact-check, explain, elaborate, or get a second opinion without leaving your workflow.
Select text, speak an instruction, and the AI Assistant applies it instantly. Add emoji to each line, reformat a list, change tone — just say what you need and the text is updated in place.
Speak in one language, get polished text in another — instantly. Dictate in English and receive the output in Spanish, or speak Russian and get Japanese. AI-powered translation across 100+ languages, built right into your workflow.
Switch between AI-powered modes optimized for different contexts. Each mode auto-configures your transcription model, AI provider, and preset — based on the active app, the website you're browsing, or your manual selection.
"hey john can you send me the report by friday thanks"
Hi John, Could you please send me the report by Friday? Best regards, Emily
