Willow
AI voice dictation that turns speech into polished text in any app
Willow is a voice dictation application for Mac, Windows, and iPhone that converts spoken words into formatted text within any text field. It solves the problem of slow typing by allowing users to write by speaking, eliminating the need to switch between applications or manually edit raw transcriptions.
The software includes a core dictation module that works across all text fields, and an AI writing assistant called Willow Scribe that drafts content from user intent. It features an auto-learning dictionary that remembers names and terms, supports over 100 languages, and offers an offline mode for device-powered dictation. Security controls include SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA compliance, zero data retention, and end-to-end encryption.
Willow is designed for professionals such as leaders, developers, sales teams, customer support, lawyers, healthcare workers, and students. It is available as a free download, with additional enterprise options that include SSO support and Business Associate Agreements.
