Skjld Diktat · In production

Speak Norwegian. Get finished text.

Skjld Diktat turns Norwegian speech into clean text wherever your cursor is, in any program. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux, and speech recognition and language clean-up run on our own servers in Sandefjord.

What you say becomes clean text.

You speak as usual. Skjld Diktat removes hesitation and filler words and adds punctuation. Pick an example.

You say

“uh hi Anne thanks for the meeting yesterday um I will send over the quote by Friday and then we can talk again next week when you have had a look best regards Kari”
Email, Word, a browser or a business system. The text lands where your cursor is.

The desktop app

Hold, speak, release.

The app sits in the background. Hold Ctrl + Space on Windows and Linux or Option + Space on Mac, speak and release. The text is pasted where you are writing.

No integration is needed. If you have a text box, you can dictate into it.

You speak faster than you type.

You can say the whole thought before you would have typed the first sentence. You notice it most on what you write many times a day.

Typing on a keyboard
Around 40 words a minute
Speaking
Around 150 words a minute

Approximate figures. How much time you save depends on what you write.

Made for people who write a lot.

The speech model is trained on Norwegian, with dialects, Bokmål, Nynorsk and Norwegian professional language.
