🪟 What this app does

voice-input-dist turns your voice into text on your Windows PC.
You open the app, press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear in the text box you are using.

It works well for:

• Writing emails
• Filling in chat boxes
• Taking notes
• Drafting documents
• Entering text in web forms

The app is made for quick use. You do not need to copy and paste the text after each dictation. It sends the typed text to the active window for you.

⚙️ What you need

Before you run the app, make sure your PC meets these basic needs:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• A working microphone
• Internet access for the first download
• Permission to use speech input
• Enough free space to store the app files

For the best result:

• Use a headset or a good microphone
• Speak at a normal pace
• Stay in a quiet room
• Keep other apps from using the microphone at the same time

🎤 How to use it

Using voice-input-dist is simple:

1. Open the app.

2. Click in any text field, such as:

   • A browser text box
   • A note app
   • An email draft
   • A chat window

7. Press the hotkey again to stop input.

If you use the app often, keep it open in the background. That makes it easier to start dictation when you need it.

🔑 Hotkey and input behavior

The app uses a keyboard shortcut to start and stop voice input.

Common setup:

• One key starts recording
• The same key stops recording

This keeps the process fast and easy to remember.

When the app is active:

• It listens through your microphone
• It converts speech to text
• It places the text in the current app
• It keeps your hands off the keyboard for short tasks

If the text appears in the wrong place, click inside the field you want to use and try again.

🧭 Best use tips

To get cleaner text:

• Speak one sentence at a time
• Pause between ideas
• Avoid background noise
• Keep the microphone close to your mouth
• Use simple wording when possible
• Check the text after you finish

For longer notes:

• Break your message into short parts
• Stop and restart if the app misses words
• Review the result before you send it
