Flow: Speech-to-Text Anywhere on Your Computer
Turn your voice into typed text in any application. Optiverse Flow is a universal dictation layer for your entire desktop — draft emails, fill CRM fields, write documents, and reply to messages at 3x typing speed.
Flow: Speech-to-Text Anywhere on Your Computer
Flow is a universal voice-to-text layer for your entire computer. Press a shortcut, speak naturally, and your words appear as typed text in whatever application is focused. Email, CRM, documents, chat, spreadsheets — Flow works everywhere.
Beta Access — Optiverse Desktop (including Flow) is currently in beta for both macOS and Windows. Request early access at optiverse.app to be among the first to try it.
How Flow Works
- Press the Flow keyboard shortcut (configurable in app settings)
- Start speaking naturally in any language
- Your words are transcribed and inserted as typed text at the cursor position in the active app
- Press the shortcut again (or pause speaking) to deactivate
When Flow is active, a minimal floating indicator shows a live waveform as you speak. It stays out of the way while confirming your voice is being captured.
Flow works with any application on your device: email clients, browsers, document editors, chat tools, CRM fields, spreadsheets, IDEs, or any other text input.
Why Voice-to-Text Matters
| Metric | Typing | Speaking with Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Average speed | ~40 words/min | ~130 words/min |
| Cognitive load | High (spelling, formatting) | Low (natural expression) |
| Repetitive strain risk | Higher | Minimal |
| Context switching | Frequent (think → type → correct) | Minimal (think → speak) |
Flow lets you work at the speed of thought, reducing friction in every text-based task throughout your day.
Use Cases
| Scenario | Example |

| Writing documents | Dictate reports, proposals, or meeting notes into Word, Google Docs, Notion, or any editor |

| CRM updates | Speak deal notes directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive fields |

| Quick notes | Capture thoughts and ideas anywhere without switching applications |
