Versions:
Pithflow is a Windows-native AI voice dictation application developed and published by Pithflow, currently at version 1.37.0 with six released versions to date. Written in Rust and distributed as a roughly 6 MB installer rather than an Electron wrapper, the app fits the productivity and speech-to-text software category and targets users who want dictation that works directly inside their existing workflow. To dictate, the user holds Ctrl+Space, speaks, and releases; the spoken words are returned as cleaned-up text and inserted into whichever Windows application currently has focus, making it suitable for drafting emails, documents, chat messages, and notes without switching tools. A Pro-tier meeting notes feature extends this to longer sessions: it can record an in-room meeting or a video call on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, then produce a summary, key points ranked by frequency, decisions, and action items, all exportable to Word, PDF, or plain text. Privacy is central to the design: each session is DPAPI-encrypted on the local machine and audio is never stored, although transcription itself runs in the cloud and therefore requires an internet connection. Because audio is captured locally and nothing is installed inside the remote environment, Pithflow functions in scenarios where many dictation tools fail, including RDP, Citrix, and VDI sessions. Language support includes native bilingual Spanish and English handling, with mid-sentence Spanglish code-switching, plus more than one hundred additional languages. Pricing includes a free tier offering 2,000 words per week with no card required, while the Pro plan costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Pithflow runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
