About Voice Gecko
Voice Gecko is a desktop dictation tool that transforms speech into accurate text across nearly any application, ideal for emails, coding, AI prompts, or note-taking. With a simple global shortcut, you begin speaking, and the words appear instantly, either on your clipboard or directly pasted in your active window. A persistent GeckoBar stays accessible so you can start and stop recording at any time, minimizing context-switching and letting you stay in flow. It supports a custom dictionary for industry terms, names, and code snippets, ensures your words are accurately transcribed, and keeps a searchable history of all dictations so nothing is lost. The software emphasizes privacy, raw audio stays on your machine (or uses local models when possible), and no recordings are uploaded unless necessary. Click the GeckoBar or use your shortcut to begin capturing your speech.

Amazon Transcribe
Amazon Transcribe makes it easy for developers to add speech to text capabilities to their applications. Audio data is virtually impossible for computers to search and analyze. Therefore, recorded speech needs to be converted to text before it can be used in applications. Historically, customers had to work with transcription providers that required them to sign expensive contracts and were hard to integrate into their technology stacks to accomplish this task. Many of these providers use outdated technology that does not adapt well to different scenarios, like low-fidelity phone audio common in contact centers, which results in poor accuracy. Amazon Transcribe uses a deep learning process called automatic speech recognition (ASR) to convert speech to text quickly and accurately. Amazon Transcribe can be used to transcribe customer service calls, automate subtitling, and generate metadata for media assets to create a fully searchable archive.

Vocola 3
Dictation with Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) works well for "WSR-friendly" applications like MS Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Dictated text is inserted directly into document text, and commands like "Delete hedgehog" can refer to specific document text. But WSR dictation works less well for "WSR-unfriendly" applications like MS Excel, Gmail, and most programming environments. Dictation is not inserted directly into document text, and commands cannot refer to document text. Vocola improves this situation by supporting direct dictation for WSR-unfriendly applications, and by allowing correction and modification of the just-dictated phrase. Vocola and WSR use the same underlying speech profile, so any improvements you make via training, correction, or the speech dictionary benefit WSR dictation and Vocola dictation equally. Dictation to WSR-unfriendly applications is essentially unusable in Vista, as every utterance raises the correction panel.
