Cantonese speech to text, typed where you work
Yes, Zefmi types spoken Cantonese into any Windows app: hold a key, speak, and Chinese characters appear at your cursor. Cantonese is on the one US$5 a month plan and in the free trial. It is live dictation, not file transcription.
US$5 a month. Windows now; Mac, iPhone and Android coming.
Is this Cantonese typing or file transcription?
Most Cantonese speech to text tools work on recordings: you upload a file and wait. Zefmi works where you type.
Types as you speak
Hold a key, speak Cantonese and let go. The text lands at your cursor in chat, email, documents and forms on Windows.
Upload a recording
Good for meetings and interviews. You wait for a transcript, then copy what you need into another app.

What does it type, and how well?
The AI clean-up removes filler words and repeats and adds punctuation, without changing what you meant. Word for word mode keeps every word.
Spoken Cantonese or written Chinese, Traditional or Simplified? Zefmi has no Traditional or Simplified switch yet. The characters you get are what the speech model writes. Tell us which you need at support@zefmi.com. We make no promise about which style the text comes out in.
Mixed Cantonese and English? Not promised yet.
Other apps? Some other dictation apps list Cantonese too; we compare them on the best dictation apps page. We have not measured any app's Cantonese accuracy yet. A public accuracy test, 50 sentences across six apps, is being run; results will be published here with the raw data.
Zefmi also understands Mandarin and English. See every language Zefmi supports, or pricing.

Does the free trial include Cantonese?
Yes. The 14-day trial includes Cantonese and Mandarin, so you can try the language you actually speak.
Which plan has Cantonese?
The one plan, US$5 a month. See pricing.
Does it type Traditional or Simplified Chinese?
Zefmi has no Traditional or Simplified switch yet. The characters you get are what the speech model writes. Tell us which you need at support@zefmi.com.
Can I mix Chinese and English in one sentence?
Not promised yet. For now, speak one language at a time.
Can I upload a recording to transcribe?
No. Zefmi types live as you speak. It does not transcribe audio files or meetings.
Does it work offline?
No. Zefmi needs an internet connection, because the speech recognition runs online.
Do you keep my audio?
Not on our relay, which stores neither audio nor text. Your dictation history stays on your PC. The details are on where your voice goes.
