Buyer questions

Questions buyers actually ask

Is SpeakoFlow really free?

Yes. It is completely open source under the MIT license with no trial, subscription, or word cap.

View source

Is my data private?

Voice is transcribed locally and never uploaded. The assistant only contacts your chosen model provider, requires no account, and has no telemetry.

View source

Do I need an API key to use SpeakoFlow?

No. It runs entirely on a built-in local model by default; cloud provider keys are optional.

View source

What is "Hey Flow"?

A trigger phrase that converts dictation into AI requests like replying to messages or drafting emails. It is not an always-listening wake word.

Can SpeakoFlow clean up messy dictation?

Yes. Optional AI cleanup removes filler, fixes grammar, and reshapes tone to match your preference.
