How it works

How Auris works.

The basic loop in three steps.
Everything else is how you shape what comes out.

The loop · 001

Hold. Speak. Release.

01 · Hold

Hold

Ctrl+Cmd or Ctrl+Win

Press and hold the dictate hotkey. The hotkey is global, which means it works in whatever app or browser tab has focus. Hold for as long as you want to talk.

02 · Speak

Speak

Talk for as long as you need

Auris transcribes everything you say while you're holding the key. No time limit, no character cap.

03 · Release

Release

clean text · 1–2s later

Let go. Auris cleans up the transcript and pastes the polished version at your cursor. The whole thing typically takes one to two seconds after you stop talking.

Sliders · 002

Three sliders that change the output.

Auris ships with three global tone sliders. Move them.
The next dictation reflects the change.

Following up on Tuesday: shipping the redesign as an opt-in beta. Target: end of month.

global defaults · overridden per app updates instantly · no reload
Casual ⟶ Professional

Formality

Casual keeps contractions and a friend-tone. Professional uses full grammar and a measured tone.

Verbose ⟶ Tight

Conciseness

Verbose preserves your phrasing. Tight cuts fillers, hedges, and redundant phrases.

Soft ⟶ Direct

Assertiveness

Soft keeps hedges, qualifiers, and politeness markers. Direct removes them and states the point.

Per-app · 003

Different apps, different polish.

A casual Slack message and a board update email shouldn't sound the same. Auris ships with six app-aware mode presets.
Mode · 01

Default.

The global slider settings apply. Most apps you don't override end up here.

Mode · 02

Formal.

Formality and assertiveness pushed up. Email clients, document editors, board updates.

Mode · 03

Casual.

Formality pushed down. Chat apps: Slack, Discord, Messages.

Mode · 04

Minimal.

Only fixes typos and grammar. Leaves your phrasing alone.

Mode · 05

Code.

Preserves quotes and brackets. Doesn't auto-capitalize. Terminals and editors.

Mode · 06

Email.

Full sentences, signature-ready phrasing. Mail, Outlook, Gmail.

Assign any mode to any app. Override with custom rules for anything specific.

Dictionary · 004

Fix it once.

When you edit a polished output, either in Auris's history view or by fixing a typo within five minutes of dictating, Auris notices the diff.
01 · You speak it

"Send to Cassettoni."

Auris hears the word, doesn't know it. Best guess lands in the app.

02 · You fix it

"Send to Castoni."

You fix the typo in whichever app it landed in — within five minutes of dictating. Auris works in every app.

03 · Auris learns

Castoni → dictionary

The correction goes into your dictionary automatically. Next time you say it, it lands right.

The dictionary catches matches before the polish step ever sees them.
You stop fixing the same name, acronym, or technical term over and over.

Snippets · 005

Spoken triggers, written shortcuts.

Snippets fire on phrases you say. Say "today's date," get the current date. Say "meeting template," get a notes skeleton with the date already filled in.

Build your own snippets in the Memos tab. Edit them whenever.
They live on your machine.

Sensitive · 006

Sensitive content stays out of your history.

Speak a credit card number and it lands in the app you're typing in.
It doesn't get saved to your transcript history.
Email

Anything matching an email pattern.
Never saved to your transcript history.

Phone

North American and international phone numbers.
Lands in the app, never in history.

SSN

Social Security Numbers.
Used in the moment, not stored.

Credit card

16-digit card numbers, all major schemes.
Typed once, gone after.

Add your own patterns with regex for company-specific things you want kept out of saved transcripts: employee IDs, internal project codes, anything else.

Setup · 007

Two minutes to start.

First time you open Auris, a setup walks you through four steps.
None of them take long.
01 · Microphone

Microphone access

Click "Allow" when the system prompt appears. On Windows, you might also need to grant access in Settings → Privacy → Microphone.

02 · Polish path

Pick your polish path

Choose where Auris runs the polish step: OpenAI, Anthropic, or Groq with your own key, or a local model on your machine.

03 · Hotkey

Confirm hotkeys

Ctrl + Cmd on Mac, Ctrl + Win on Windows by default. Change them if you want.

04 · Speak

Start talking

Hold the key. Say something. Watch your words land in the text field.

See it run on your machine.

Buy Auris, run the setup, dictate your first sentence. If it doesn't earn its place inside two weeks, the 30-day money-back is right there.
