Wherever you write

One shortcut. All your apps.

Novaddict doesn't ask you to change tools. The text lands wherever your cursor is blinking.

The difference

The same message. A third of the time.

On the left, typing. On the right, speaking. Same text, same stopwatch.

Translation

Speak French. Write in English.

A client abroad, a bilingual team? Turn on translation: you speak naturally, and Novaddict pastes the text straight in English.

You say

“Bonjour Sarah, je vous confirme la livraison pour jeudi matin. Je vous envoie le bon de livraison dans la journée.”

Novaddict pastes

Hi Sarah, I'm confirming delivery for Thursday morning. I'll send you the delivery note later today.

Your way

Simple from day one. Adjustable after that.

Your dictionary

Your clients' names, your products, your jargon: Novaddict spells them right. And whatever it mishears, you correct once and for all.

Going further

You already dictate. What if someone acted on it?

With Nova, the same dictated sentence becomes a quote, a sorted e-mail, a new task. You speak, she takes care of it.

Is Novaddict really free?

Yes: no subscription, no account, no mark-up. The only cost is your own Groq usage for transcription, about $0.04 per hour of dictation, paid directly to Groq.

Why do I need a Groq key?

Groq does the transcription, and that's what makes it so fast. You create the key for free on their website; you paste it once, the first time you launch the app.

Does my voice stay private?

Your audio goes to Groq to be transcribed, with your own key. Novaddict doesn't keep it and doesn't use it for anything else. The code is public: you can check.

Which languages?

You can dictate in English, French and many other languages supported by the transcription. Built-in translation goes into English.

The shortcut doesn't work on Linux?

On Wayland, some desktops block global shortcuts. Just create the shortcut in your desktop settings; the documentation shows you how, in two minutes.

What does “open source” mean?

The code is public: you can read it, check what it does with your audio, and adapt it to your needs.
