How can I help you with your code today?
Hi everyone,
Push-to-Talk Dictation.
It's like a walkie-talkie for your Mac. Hold the shortcut, speak your mind, release to insert. Or tap once to toggle. Works in Xcode, Slack, Notes, browser — everywhere.
Hold to Speak
Sotto listens while you hold and transcribes when you release.
Instant Insert
No copying needed. Text appears directly in your active app.
Stop typing at the
speed of slow.
The average person types at 40 words per minute but speaks at 150. Your brain works faster than your fingers. Sotto closes that gap.
Don't let friction kill your flow state. Capture complex thoughts, detailed feedback, and long-form content in seconds, not minutes.
Speed up your
vibe coding.
Let's be honest: when you're typing, you're lazy. You type "fix this" and hope the AI reads your mind. And then you get garbage code back.
With Sotto, you can effortlessly ramble about the edge cases, the architecture, and the specific constraints. Better context in = better code out.
- Describe complex bugs in seconds
- Explain architectural decisions clearly
- Give detailed code review feedback
- Stop wrestling with context windows
Your voice, any app.
Sotto works as a system-wide layer. Talk anywhere, type everywhere.
Reply in seconds, not minutes.

Automatic text cleanup.
Toggle rules that apply to every transcription. Fix grammar, remove filler words, and polish your text automatically.
How it works
Enable the rules you want, and they'll automatically apply to every transcription. Rules combine together — enable "Fix Grammar" and "Remove Filler Words" and both will be applied. Works with AI Functions too.
Fix Grammar & Spelling
Correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors
"i was going too the store but i didnt have no money"
"I was going to the store, but I didn't have any money."
Remove Filler Words
Remove 'um', 'uh', 'like', 'you know', etc.
"So like, um, I was thinking that, you know, we should basically just, uh, go with option A"
"I was thinking that we should go with option A"
Smart Punctuation
Add proper sentence structure and punctuation
"the meeting is at 3pm we need to prepare the slides also dont forget to invite sarah"
"The meeting is at 3pm. We need to prepare the slides. Also, don't forget to invite Sarah."
Professional Tone
Ensure a polished tone for business communication
"hey can u send me that thing we talked about thanks"
"Hi, could you please send me the document we discussed? Thank you."
Create your own custom rules with any instructions you want.
Transform your voice.
Process your dictation with AI before pasting. Write emails, format code prompts, translate, summarize — all with a single click.
One-click AI processing
Select a function from the recording bar, speak naturally, and your text is automatically processed before pasting. No extra steps. Each function uses your chosen AI provider and model.
Professional Email
Clean up and professionalize email drafts
"hey can we push back the meeting i have another thing that came up also did you get the docs i sent"
"Hi, Would it be possible to reschedule our meeting? Something has come up that I need to attend to. Also, I wanted to confirm whether you received the documents I sent earlier. Thank you."
Vibe Coding
Transform ideas into LLM-ready coding prompts
"i want to make a button that like when you click it it shows a modal and then actually no make it a dropdown instead with like three options"
"Create a button component that opens a dropdown menu on click. The dropdown should display three selectable options. Style it to match the existing design system."
Summarize
Create concise summaries of your thoughts
"so basically the main takeaway from the meeting was that we need to focus on the mobile experience first because most of our users are on phones and then after that we can work on the desktop version and also john mentioned we should look into the analytics to see what features people actually use"
"Key takeaways: (1) Prioritize mobile experience due to majority mobile user base, (2) Desktop version comes after mobile, (3) Review analytics to identify most-used features."
Casual Rewrite
Make formal text more friendly and conversational
"I am writing to inform you that your request has been processed and you should expect to receive confirmation within 3-5 business days."
"Just wanted to let you know we've processed your request! You should get a confirmation in the next 3-5 business days."
