Three ways to capture speech.

Quick mode handles fast captures. Anchor Mode is for one longer recording. Session mode keeps listening and sends each finished thought back to the app you are using.

Quick mode

Hold the function key, speak, and release to insert text instantly.

0:00

Built for how you work.

Configure Confer around your workflow, then use prompt modes to turn raw speech into structured text.

Reusable modes

Use Quick mode for short captures, Anchor Mode for a full recording, and Session mode when you want Confer to keep listening while you work.

Powerful Configuration

Configure Confer to your workflow with robust prompt processing options, app level configurations, dictionaries, and convenient shortcuts.

Designed for daily use.

From locally stored transcriptions and audio control to reusable prompts and recording modes, Confer is built to stay useful without getting in your way.

Privacy first

Voice dictation without the weird stuff.

All transcriptions (raw and processed), prompts, and usage are only ever stored on your device locally. Confer's servers never store data.

Multilingual dictation

Use the language your team works in.

Switch between 50+ languages on demand and keep your output clear, readable, and ready to share.

Quick, anchor, and session

Dictate without breaking your flow.

Press and speak for quick text, start Anchor Mode for a longer thought, or use Session mode to keep dictating while Confer pastes each result.

Volume management

Don't sweat the tunes.

Tired of having to constantly pause music or videos to dictate? Confer can automatically mute your system before dictation, and unmute it when you're finished.

Smart prompt presets

Use our prompts and create your own.

Confer comes with ten predefined prompts, each one thoroughly tested. You're free to use them, customize them, or create entirely new ones.

Engineer ready output

Paste polished text into your tools easily.

Generate clean bullets, headings, and summaries that fit naturally into agentic tools, issue trackers, and project briefs.

Made natively for macOS.

Start dictation from anywhere, switch modes from the keyboard, and paste structured text back into the app you were already using.
