If you turn on fast dictation, it will sometimes translate the language in which you dictate to English, which, in some cases, is not intended. Very often when I dictate something in another language than English, I want it to be transcribed in that language.
The developers know about this and are working for a solution. In general, I would say every bug or feature request that you share with them is acted on very diligently and with speed.

@allan_guo Congrats! Does it have ability to save text expanders and templates like @Text Blaze?
@allan_guo congrats on the launch. Can it adjust tone/style to different tools?
Willow Voice
@allan_guo @austin_heaton Yep! Just go to the Style Matching tab on the left and you can choose!
does Willow analyze my previous sent items to learn my tone, or does it primarily rely on the active application window's context?
Willow Voice
@lightninglx Yep, exactly that! Willow learns based on your previous edits, what slight differences / word choices you make. Over time you should Willow sounding more and more like you :).
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
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?
Willow Voice
@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).
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?
Willow Voice
@kostfast Style matching works across all languages. Multi-lingual support was one of our top priorities!
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. 💰
