A free plan with an allowance every 7 days

SayDart Free isn't a trial. Voice typing, cleanup, translation and the Assistant all use the same allowance every 7 days, and it refreshes every 7 days.

Your account shows remaining usage and the next refresh. Longer recordings and different processing steps can use different amounts, so we do not promise a fixed word or minute count. If the allowance is exhausted, wait for its next refresh or choose Pro for unlimited use of all current features.

Choose the right kind of free tool

A browser dictation notepad, a desktop voice typing app and a service that transcribes uploaded recordings solve different problems. SayDart is a Windows desktop app and requires installation and sign-in. This page is not an in-browser recorder or an audio-file upload converter.

SayDart processes speech in the cloud, so you need to be online. Your history stays on your computer.
