Speak where you work
A global hotkey starts and stops recording. Transcribed words can be pasted straight into your active editor, terminal, browser or chat.

The idea
Your voice, in your workflow.
Promptly is a Windows desktop app that turns your voice into text wherever you work. Press a global hotkey, speak, then press it again: your words are transcribed and pasted into the active terminal, editor, browser or chat app. It lives quietly in the system tray, with a compact, draggable overlay that shows when it is recording, transcribing or done.
Inside the product
Make the words yours
Optional AI polish cleans up filler words and punctuation. A personal word list helps recognise names and technical terms.
Quietly within reach
A system-tray app and compact draggable overlay show recording progress without taking over the desktop. Uses your own Groq API key.
How we built it
Python and PyQt6 handle the tray app and recording overlay. Background workers send audio to Groq’s Whisper API, while native Windows hotkeys and paste controls connect the result to the active application.
