Features

The whole desktop voice loop.

Peanut is not a single dictation box. It covers the moments before, during, and after voice becomes work: capture, cleanup, listening, reuse, translation, history, and provider control.

Write Dictate into desktop apps with cleanup and smart formatting.
Listen Read selected text aloud with voice and playback settings.
Reuse Keep snippets, history, replay, metrics, and provider settings in one place.
Fit Use Peanut in existing text fields instead of adopting another editor.
Dictation

Speak into any app

Use a global shortcut to capture speech and paste polished output into email, docs, chat, tickets, and editors.

Read-aloud

Listen to selected text

Turn long threads, notes, specs, and drafts into audio when review is easier by ear.

Cleanup

Make speech readable

Use formatting and filler handling so rough speech becomes something closer to a draft.

Snippets

Reuse repeated text

Save signatures, links, support replies, caveats, and templates for typed or spoken expansion.

Translate

Move between languages

Translate selected text, listen back, or speak and paste translated output into the active app.

Brain Dump

Shape rough ideas

Speak the unstructured version and turn it into briefs, prompts, messages, outlines, and action lists.

Peanut is strongest when voice becomes a system.

The more you dictate, listen, reuse, translate, and review from the same desktop layer, the more value Peanut creates over a dictation-only tool.
