Voice Dictation for Video Editing Workflow
Flunkey is a free desktop voice dictation tool built for video editing workflows on Windows. It lets video editors and content producers type timeline notes, dictate markers, draft video descriptions, and search assets hands-free by speaking (F8) and asking AI for quick copy assistance (F9).
Core Workflows
Dictate marker comments and clip descriptions directly on timeline
Speed up your editing workflow. Dictate marker titles or clip notes directly into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid using the F8 key, keeping your hands near the mouse or controller.
Draft video captions and SEO descriptions with AI
Generate metadata while your project renders. Hold F9, summarize your video's content, and copy the streamed AI outline to use for descriptions and tags.
Log feedback and client revisions hands-free
Dictate client feedback lists or edit requirements straight into your spreadsheet or project board. All logs are kept in a local searchable history.
