soink
A Mac AI voice keyboard for people who type for long periods: speak to input, see text form in real time, and give your hands a rest.
About soink
soink is an AI voice keyboard for Mac, suited to people who type all day and want to rest their hands, as well as users with hand pain caused by TFCC wrist injuries, repetitive strain injury (RSI), or disability. It provides real-time streaming transcription: as your words leave your mouth, text appears immediately in the input field, while AI organizes what it hears with low latency so you can watch the text take shape in real time. It also supports hands-free operation: tap once to start, speak for as long as you like, and use your voice to edit words or send messages. Wherever there is a text input field, soink can enter text. soink runs in the cloud; according to the official explanation, this provides better speech recognition and AI models and allows it to run on any Mac. For privacy, soink does not record, store, or upload typing or voice, deletes audio immediately after converting it to text, and does not use user data to train models.
