How it works01 02 03
One hotkey. Three seconds. Lands itself.
No new writing habit to learn. Click where you want text, hold the shortcut, speak the way you actually think — polished writing lands right where you're typing.
Speak naturally
Talk the way you actually think — in any of 99+ languages, even mixing two mid-sentence. Names and places stay right.
Polished text lands
BolWise cleans grammar, fixes filler, and pastes ready-to-send writing exactly where you were typing.
Coding & prompting
Prompt at the speed of thought.
A good agent prompt is three sentences of context you would rather not type. Say it in the language you think in — BolWise strips the false starts and drops it in the composer with your technical terms intact.

What makes BolWise different from regular dictation?
Most dictation assumes you speak one language at a time and hands back a raw transcript. BolWise is built around how multilingual people actually talk — switching languages mid-sentence, accents, and names from any language — and turns that into polished, professional writing before it lands right where you're typing.
Which languages can I speak in?
BolWise understands 99+ languages, including code-switched speech that mixes two languages mid-sentence. Auto-detect picks up whatever you are speaking, and the polish pass returns it in that same language — cleaned up, not translated. Speak in one language and set the Mode's "Translate to" dropdown to the language you want written.
Where does my audio actually go?
Audio is sent to the BolWise API for transcription and polish, then discarded — we do not keep audio or transcripts on our servers. Your local run History lives on your device only and is never uploaded.
Do I need my own API keys?
No. BolWise routes through our managed backend — no API keys, no model configuration, nothing to set up. Install, sign up, sign in, dictate.
How fast is it?
It depends on how long you speak. Short clips usually come back in a few seconds, and a 20-second clip typically lands in under 3 seconds on a good connection. Longer recordings take proportionally longer. These are typical figures from everyday use rather than guarantees — your connection and clip length both matter.
Which platforms are supported?
BolWise is a desktop app for macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized) and Windows 10/11 (x64). Download either build from the Download page. It is not available on phones or tablets.
Windows SmartScreen warns me when I install — is that normal?
Yes. The Windows build is not Authenticode-signed yet, so Windows may show “Windows protected your PC” or that the app is unrecognized. That is expected. Click More info, then Run anyway. The Mac build is signed and notarized and does not show this warning.
What if I want the output in a different language?
By default BolWise writes back in the language you spoke — say it in English and you get polished English, with grammar, punctuation, and filler cleaned up. Nothing is translated unless you ask. Speak in one language and set the Mode's "Translate to" dropdown to the language you want written.
What happens when I sign up — is a credit card required?
No card. Download the app, create an account, confirm your email, sign in, and start dictating. The free trial gives you 30 minutes of dictation to use over 14 days, and the app shows how much you have left at all times.
