Words & Replacements

Your words, spelled the way you choose.

Save explicit replacements and import vocabulary from sources you choose. No passive edit monitoring or learning inbox.

Live feedback

See what Kiki hears while you speak.

A lightweight transcript follows your caret, then disappears after insertion.

Private session

Leave no trail when the work is sensitive.

Pause dictation history with one action. Your recording stays in memory for undo and retry.

Recovery

Undo or retry your exact last dictation.

Recover quickly without Kiki saving the underlying recording to disk.

Meeting transcripts

Keep the words. Skip the extra paperwork.

Review the source-labelled transcript, adjust speaker names, and export the format you need.
