Dictation for writers

Updated 31 Oct 2026

Talk through a scene or a section and Zefmi types it where your cursor is. Use AI clean-up for emails and notes, and Word for word mode when you want exactly what you said.

What it looks like

Three made-up samples. Word for word mode keeps your phrasing; AI clean-up only removes fillers and adds punctuation.

First draftWord for word

You say

The rain had stopped by the time she reached the pier, and the boats were already gone.

What happens to your words

Your drafts are yours. Here is what Zefmi does with them.

Security and privacy in full
  • Our relay does not store your audioYour voice goes through our relay to AssemblyAI. The relay keeps no audio or text and logs status codes only.
  • Your history stays on your deviceYour dictation history is kept on your computer. Our servers keep word counts, not what you said.
  • We do not train AI on your wordsThe clean-up step goes through OpenRouter with data collection set to deny, so it only uses providers that do not log or train on prompts.
  • It needs the internetSpeech recognition runs online, so Zefmi does not work offline.

Want your exact words?

Word for word mode switches the AI clean-up off, so what you say is what you get.

Questions

How dictation software works, and what Zefmi does and does not do: dictation software explained.

Will the AI change my style?

AI clean-up removes fillers and false starts and adds punctuation. It does not rewrite what you meant. Word for word mode switches it off.

Does it work in my writing app?

Zefmi types at your cursor, so it works in most apps you can type in on Windows. Try yours during the 14-day trial.

Is there a word limit?

Yes: 40,000 words a month. See pricing.

Does it work offline?

No. Zefmi needs an internet connection, because the speech recognition runs online.
