Works wherever you type

If it has a text box,
you can talk to it.

AirNote types where your cursor is, so there is nothing to connect. A chat, an email, an issue or a prompt all take dictation the same way.

  • SlackReplies and threads, spoken instead of typed.
  • LarkChats and docs, in Hindi, English or both at once.
  • Microsoft TeamsChat replies without stopping to type.
  • LinearIssues and comments, written out loud.
  • AsanaTask updates, said in a sentence.
  • Gmail and Google DocsEmails and documents at the pace you speak.
  • ChatGPTLong prompts, said in one go.
  • ClaudeDetailed prompts, without the typing.
  • GeminiQuestions in the mix of languages you think in.
  • HubSpotNotes on a deal, straight after the call.
  • SalesforceAccount notes, while they are still fresh.
  • Outlook and WordFormal emails, with polite sign-offs.

How it works

Press, speak,
and it is typed.

Press

Hold Fn, or any key you choose, and talk. Let go, and it is sent. A small pill on screen shows that AirNote is listening.

  • Fn, Caps Lock or any modifier key
  • Hold to talk, or tap to start and stop
  • Changes apply straight away

Speak

Talk the way you talk: English, Hindi, or both in one sentence. On Macs with Apple silicon, Clario C1 turns your speech into text on the Mac itself.

  • English, Hindi and Hinglish
  • Clario C1, on the device
  • Hinglish kept in Roman script

Polish

AirNote fixes the punctuation, drops the filler words and applies the words you have taught it. This step runs on a server, so the text leaves your Mac to be polished.

  • Punctuation and filler words
  • Your names and terms, spelled right
  • Can be switched off

Lands

The text is typed where your cursor is, in whatever app you are in, and the pill confirms it. Every dictation is kept in your History.

  • Any app with a text box
  • What you said and what was typed
  • Search, export or clear it

Built for Hinglish

Hindi and English,
typed in Roman script.

Say half a sentence in Hindi and the rest in English. AirNote types it the way you would type it yourself: Hinglish in Roman letters, with the English words left in English.

  • English, Hindi and Hinglish
  • Roman script, the way you would write it in a chat
  • Speech becomes text on your Mac, with Clario C1

Polish

Clean text by default.
Your exact words on request.

Polish fixes the punctuation, drops the filler words and applies the words you have taught AirNote. Switch it off, and AirNote types exactly what you said.

The switch and its words are the app's own setting. Try it, and the example follows.

Polish runs on a server, so the transcript text leaves your Mac for this step.

Illustration

Both versions, kept. Every dictation in History keeps what you said next to what was typed, so a polished line can always be checked against the words behind it.

Learns your words

Correct a word once.
It stays corrected.

Fix a name while you dictate and AirNote learns the fix. The next time you say it, it comes out right, in every app.

Supabase learned

It tells you when it learns.

A small pill confirms each new word as AirNote picks it up.

  1. Say it

    AirNote types what it heard, names and all.

  2. Correct it

    Fix the word, and AirNote learns the fix from your correction.

  3. It sticks

    The fix applies from then on. Add a name, brand or term yourself in Vocabulary, too.

Style per context

Short in code.
Casual in chat.
Formal in email.

AirNote groups your apps into buckets and learns how you write in each, so the same voice comes out as a terse note in one app and a polite email in another.

  • CodingShort imperative sentences, technical terms in English.Refactor the settings panel so each section loads on its own instead of all at once.
  • MessagingCasual and friendly, Hinglish in Roman script.Kal ka demo ready hai, let's ship it.
  • Formal writingFull sentences, no slang, polite sign-offs.Hi team, quick update: the beta build is out and the crash on launch is fixed.

Questions

Can I download AirNote?

Not from this site. AirNote is in use at EMIAC, and we show it as an example of what we build. If you want it, or something like it, for your company, contact sales.

Where does speech become text?

On the Mac. On Macs with Apple silicon, Clario C1 turns your speech into text on the device, and by default your audio stays there. The polish step that follows runs on a server, so the transcript text leaves the Mac for it. With polish switched off, AirNote types exactly what you said.

What does AirNote keep?

The text: for each dictation, what you said and what was typed, in your History on the server, so it follows you to every desktop you sign in to. Audio is not stored on the server. You can search, export or clear your History at any time.

Which languages does it understand?

English, Hindi and Hinglish, the mix of the two in one sentence. Hinglish is typed in Roman script, the way you would type it yourself.

What is Clario C1?

EMIAC's own Hinglish speech model, fine-tuned from Whisper base. In AirNote it runs on the device, on Macs with Apple silicon. More about Clario C1.

Which apps does it work in?

Any app where you can type. AirNote types where your cursor is, once macOS has given it the Microphone, Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions.

Which computers does it run on?

macOS 13 or later, on Macs with Apple silicon. The current version is 2.5.0. A Windows version is in beta.

How does it work for a whole company?

In enterprise mode, AirNote runs against an organisation server. People sign in with email or Lark, workspaces have admin roles, the company's vocabulary is synced to every desktop, and usage is counted for each organisation. That is how EMIAC runs it today.
