Features

What it does

Voice dictation mode

Press a global shortcut, speak, and the transcript is auto-copied to your clipboard. Multi-round dictation accumulates text across recordings.

Audio file transcription

Drop in an mp3, m4a, wav, mp4, mov, or any other audio/video file (up to 25 MB / 20 min). ChatGPT's Whisper transcribes it — no API key needed.

Zero configuration

Install and start talking. No setup, no accounts, no API keys, no third-party transcription services. Uses your own ChatGPT session.

Privacy

Your data stays yours

Micly accesses your microphone only when you activate it. Uploaded audio files go directly from your browser to your own ChatGPT session — never to our servers. We don't store, transmit, or have access to your audio or transcriptions.
