The best AI dictation and speech-to-text software in 2026

AI voice input tools let you press a key, speak naturally, and instantly paste clean, structured text into any app. Most of them use a push-to-talk model (usually the Fn key) so you can trigger voice input anywhere without switching windows, opening a modal, or copying and pasting.

They’ve quietly become a new input layer for the computer: faster than typing, more natural than shortcuts, and flexible enough to drive workflows across writing, coding, email, and AI assistants.
