Willow on Windows - Write anywhere on your computer. By voice.

You write hundreds of messages, emails, and prompts a day. Willow is an AI voice typing tool that lets you speak them instead. Willow now works on Windows, Mac, and iOS. You can use it anywhere on your computer, like Gmail, Slack, Notion, Cursor, and more. Willow is powerful because it's the fastest, most accurate, and the only dictation tool that actually personalizes to the way that you write over time.

Hey Product Hunt! We started Willow because so much of our day is communication. Thinking emails, Slack messages, prompts to AI, and more. It’s all moving ideas from your head to a screen. Your voice is 4x faster than your fingers. But using it has always meant fighting tools that don't understand how you actually write. Why existing tools fail: Dragon was built for dictating letters in 1997. Apple's built-in dictation breaks on anything complicated. And today's AI dictation tools just transcribe what you say, run it through generic AI cleanup, and hope for the best. None of them learn how you write. None of them know that your Slack messages should sound casual while your client emails need to be polished. What we built instead: 1) Speed: 200ms of latency. 5x faster than typing. 2x faster than other AI dictation tools. 2) Accuracy: Willow spells everything right, like technical terms, jargon, and names. 3) Personalization: This is the difference. Willow matches your style to your context. A text sounds like a text. An email sounds professional. A Slack message sounds like you. 4) Auto-dictionary: If you correct the spelling of a word, Willow remembers and saves it to your personal dictionary. 5) 100+ languages: You can switch languages mid-sentence and Willow follows. 6) Offline mode: Enable offline to dictate fully without any internet connection. 7) Works everywhere: Gmail, Slack, Notion, Cursor, ChatGPT, and everything. If you can type there, you can speak there. We launched on Mac first. Every day, users told us they couldn't go back to typing. Then we launched on iOS, and the same thing happened. Today, Windows joins the family. Willow now works everywhere you work. For Product Hunt: 30% off Pro with code PRODUCTHUNT30 Please ask the team any questions below 👇 — Written with Willow Voice

@allan_guo Congrats! Does it have ability to save text expanders and templates like @Text Blaze?

Austin Heaton

@allan_guo congrats on the launch. Can it adjust tone/style to different tools?

@allan_guo  @austin_heaton Yep! Just go to the Style Matching tab on the left and you can choose!

Offline mode and 100+ languages? That’s impressive! Switching languages mid-sentence is a common struggle for bilingual folks. Does the personalization work just as well for other languages like Ukrainian or Polish, or is the style matching currently best at English?

@kostfast Style matching works across all languages. Multi-lingual support was one of our top priorities!

It's a fantastic product. I've been using it for probably over six months now. It is accurate, simple to use, and probably saves me one to two hours a day. I use it on my desktop, my laptop, and my iPhone.

And now I can recommend this to friends using Windows as well. It's a great piece of software, and it's truly a pleasure to recommend it.

@james_lim1 Thanks so much for the support, James! Really appreciate it

I absolutely love this voice to text app. Great job Willow team. I’ve saved 9.3k minutes typing since I adopted it and Willow has allowed me accelerate all my engineering work across all the products I use (Email / Text / Slack / Cursor / Claude / Loveable)! The hot key makes life easy.

I also love the custom word dictionary (handy for tech products which names which I reference regularly). The rephrasing capabilities are great too. It cleans up my thoughts and clearly articulates / rephrases for clarity. Sort of like Grammarly, but I don’t have to go back and re-read or re-edit what I’ve typed so I can keep moving fast. Brilliant feature 🧠

I couldn’t live without Willow now. Customer for life. Take my money. 💰

@rzap 9.3k minutes saved!!!!! Thank you for the support!

Congrats on the launch and using it to type this message! Two quick things:

1. Is it possible to remove the floating icon that is always on screen? I wish that was not on screen all the time.

2. Can you explain privacy mode? Does it use a local model and if so which one?

Lawrence Liu

@ryan_snyder2 Hey!

1. You can move the floating icon by dragging it. If it's really annoying, you can go to Settings > Enable Notch View.

2. Privacy mode means completely zero data retention - audio, transcripts, and any sort of interactions! We do not use the offline model for that by default, that's a separate setting (Settings > Offline Mode).

Ryan Snyder

@lawrenceliuu Thanks for the reply. Sounds like that offline mode though does use an offline model though correct? Can I select which offline model?

Sick video, the device looks amazing.

Congrats on the launch guys!

@thisiskp_ Thank you KP!

Hey Allan, that part about AI dictation tools just transcribing and hoping for the best is so true. Was there a moment where you dictated something, watched it get cleaned up into something that didn’t sound like you at all, and thought why do I have to fix this every single time?
Stacy Pavlyshyna

We're fans of Willow product at Awesomic and happy to see team constantly shipping new launches 🚀

Theodore Calafatidis

Congrats on the launch! I wanted to use something like that for a while to talk to my coding agents and always forget to actually get one. Do you support per-app profiles maybe (e.g., terminal vs IDE) so commands don’t leak across contexts?

Unity Eagle

Amazing experience have just send my first message and dang it’s so good in transcribing my voice especially because I’m not a native English speaker 👏🏼
