7-day trial · $6/month or $60/year · Mac (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux · Your audio is sent only while you dictate, and LotusQ never saves it.

What it does for you

Hold a key and talk. The rest happens on the way to your cursor.

MULTILINGUAL

One key, whichever language you speak

Leave it on Auto and LotusQ works out which language you're speaking each time you hold the key. There are 78 to choose from.

COMPOSE

When you'd rather it wrote the draft

Hold F6 and say what you want written, or select text and say how to change it. Nothing goes into your document until you choose Insert.

DICTIONARY

Fix a name once

Correct a name right after LotusQ types it, and on Windows and Mac it can learn your spelling. Once it has, the next time it makes that mistake, your spelling goes in instead.

SNIPPETS

Say a phrase, get the whole text.

FAQ

Questions, plain answers

  • What is LotusQ?

    A dictation app for your computer. Hold one key in any app with a text field, say what you mean, and LotusQ puts clean text where your cursor is. It runs on Mac (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux.

  • Does anything work offline?

    No. Every dictation is turned into text on our servers, so LotusQ needs an internet connection. Without one, dictation stops with an error; nothing is saved to try later.

  • Do I need an account?

    Yes. You sign in inside the app before you can dictate. New accounts get 7 days free with no card, then it's $6 a month or $60 a year.

  • What happens to my audio?

    It streams to our servers only while you dictate, is turned into text, and is then dropped from memory. LotusQ never saves your audio to disk, on your computer or on our servers. What happens to your audio →

  • Which languages does it support?

    78, plus Auto, which is the default: LotusQ works out the language each time you hold the key. You can also pin one language in Settings. Accuracy has been measured for English.

  • Is there a free version?

    No. New accounts get 7 days free with no card, then it's $6 a month or $60 a year. If you don't add a card, the trial simply stops and you're not charged.

  • How do I get help?

    Start with the docs. You can also email [email protected], or send a request from Help inside the app.
