How is soink different from other dictation apps?

Updated July 2, 2026

Most dictation tools work the same way: record, transcribe, then paste a block of text once you stop. soink is different in a few key ways:

  • Live, right in your text field. No floating window, no paste step. Each word lands where your cursor is the moment you say it, instead of arriving as a block after you stop.
  • Hands-free, not just dictation. Most tools stop at writing, so you still reach for the keyboard to fix and send. soink keeps it all on your voice: fix a word by saying it, send the message with a “send,” then keep talking, so you can fire off one message and start the next without tapping again.
  • Voice and keyboard as one. Voice isn’t the right fit for every moment, and it doesn’t have to be. soink is a keyboard, so the keys are always there: type a bit, talk a bit in the same sentence, with no mode to switch and nothing to restart.
