AI Voice Dictation App for Writers
Flunkey is a free AI voice dictation app for writers, bloggers, and copywriters on Windows. It unlocks creative flow by letting you dictate your first drafts directly to the page (F8) and expand outlines, search synonyms, and revise text using a floating AI assistant overlay (F9).
Core Workflows
Dictate first drafts at speed
Speak your chapters or blog posts naturally. Dictate drafts directly into Word, Scrivener, Notion, or Google Docs using the F8 key, bypassing writer's block and keyboard fatigue.
Query floating AI for outlines, synonyms, and ideas
Need synonym suggestions or outline ideas? Hold F9, ask the AI overlay, and watch the responses stream side-by-side with your writing window without losing focus.
Review saved drafts and voice logs
All transcripts are logged locally in your app history. Browse past lines or recall deleted concepts easily from your dashboard.
