Willow

Willow is a desktop and mobile voice dictation application designed to replace traditional keyboard typing with AI-powered speech-to-text conversion. It runs natively on Mac, Windows, and iPhone, enabling users to compose emails, write documents, draft messages, take notes, and interact with coding tools like Cursor entirely by voice. The software uses local or cloud-based speech recognition models to capture spoken words with high accuracy, even in noisy environments, and supports automatic punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. Users can dictate at natural speaking speed and see text appear in real time across any text input field, including Slack, Gmail, iMessage, Notion, Google Docs, and other applications that accept keyboard input. Willow offers a dedicated feature called Scribe, which functions as an AI writing assistant that can generate, rewrite, summarize, or expand dictated content based on context. For example, a user can say “compose a follow-up email to the client about the project timeline” and Scribe will produce a draft that matches the user’s tone and previous writing style. The software also includes voice commands for editing—such as “select the last paragraph” or “change ‘apple’ to ‘orange’”—so corrections can be made without touching the keyboard. Willow prioritizes privacy: all audio processing can be done on-device, meaning voice data never leaves the user’s machine unless explicitly opted into cloud-enhanced features. The application is built for individual workers, freelancers, and teams who need to speed up repetitive typing tasks, reduce physical strain from prolonged keyboard use, or multitask with hands-free input. Over 50,000 users have adopted Willow for daily workflows, and it is available as a free download with optional premium t
