Accurate transcription via the Voxtral (Mistral AI), gpt-transcribe and Whisper (OpenAI), or Gemini 3.5 Transcribe (Google) APIs. Multi-provider support: freely choose between Mistral AI, OpenAI, Gemini, or a custom endpoint. Multilingual support for speech recognition and text display, allowing you to transcribe voice input in different languages and display the results (transcription and translation, if enabled) in the language of your choice. Automatic text insertion into the active field or display in a dedicated dialog box. Intelligent Translation and Rephrasing Immediate translation of transcriptions into various languages, enabled as needed. Text rephrasing to improve style and clarity.
