Ito is an open source voice assistant for Mac and Windows that transforms your intent into smart text in any app. Speak naturally to write emails, messages, or code without typing. Say intent, not just words.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Barron Caster, co-founder of Ito.ai!
Why Ito
We believe the future of interacting with technology is through voice, which is more natural than typing. With AI exploding, everyone deserves their own Jarvis. We built Ito because we think your voice assistant should be open source for transparency and customization. We only saw closed or dictation-focused tools out there.
Ito is a voice assistant that understands what you actually want (and eventually will take actions on your behalf).
The Problem
Typing remains the biggest bottleneck to human-computer interactions. Most voice tools fall short with limited or clunky approaches:
Basic dictation apps transcribe but don’t handle context, formatting, or real intent. Some nail transcribing but miss the bigger picture of taking work off your plate.
General assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) excel at reminders or searches but fumble in professional workflows, ignoring custom vocab or app-specific actions.
Overreaching permissions are required by other closed-source companies while they install keyloggers without visibility into what they are tracking.
With years of speech recognition experience, we built Ito.ai to be a real voice assistant - not just a way to type a little faster.
Ito introduces VibeTyping - type what you want to say.
Ito understands what you actually want and writes like you mean it. It transforms your words into polished content anywhere on Mac or Windows.
Intent over words: Unlike rigid dictation, Ito understands nuance. Draft a full email, crank out React code, craft a PRD, or polish a tweet with context-awareness.
Works everywhere, instantly: Hit a hotkey in any text box (Slack, Notion, Google Docs, Cursor), speak, and watch it generate formatted drafts, code snippets, or messages.
Fully yours to tweak: Open-source and community-powered. Add custom vocabulary, personalize styles from past chats, and even build voice-driven workflows for accessibility. No black-box lock-in.
Fast out of the gate: Ito is fast.
Open: As privacy advocates, we built a product that you can audit yourself, especially given the extensive permissions needed.
Who is this for?
If you type, Ito frees you to speak your mind and save time. Developers, marketers, Product Hunters, and more.
