Our Story
Built by the Team Behind Writingmate.ai
We created AIDictation to solve our own productivity challenges — and it worked so well, we had to share it.
"I use AI dictation to talk to Claude Code constantly. Instead of typing instructions, I just speak naturally. I'm easily 3× faster now."
Why We Built This
At Writingmate.ai, we spend our days writing — emails, docs, code, marketing copy. We tried every dictation tool out there, but they all had the same problems: filler words everywhere, no formatting, and text that needed heavy editing.
So we built AIDictation for ourselves. An AI-powered tool that understands context, removes the "ums" and "ahs," and delivers clean, professional text ready to use. Now we're 3× faster, and we want the same for you.
Stop Typing.
