Local Windows dictation without an account.
Command Dictate gives you private, local dictation for Windows. Start with the free version: no checkout, no activation, no trial, and no sign-in. Use it in the apps you already write in.
When dictation becomes part of your daily work, Command Dictate Pro adds the tools that help you control the finished result: cleaner output, corrections, expanded snippets, microphone controls, trigger options, troubleshooting tools, support access, and Freehold machine activation.
Freehold machine activation unlocks Pro with a one-time ownership certificate tied to your purchase. Local activation, no subscription, and no cloud account to maintain. How Freehold works.
Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription. Founder price $49 when you invite one friend.

Start free. Upgrade when cleanup and control start to matter.
Command Dictate Free is the no-barrier edition. It gives you local Windows dictation with no checkout, activation, trial, account, nagging, or license certificate.
Command Dictate Pro is the workflow edition. It is built for people who dictate often enough that cleanup, corrections, snippets, microphone controls, trigger options, troubleshooting, and support are worth owning.
Both editions process speech on your PC. Free runs on the Whisper speech engine; Pro runs on NVIDIA's Parakeet engine.
Compare Free and Pro.
Start with Free for local dictation without friction. Choose Pro when corrections, snippets, controls, and support save you time.

Windows may show a SmartScreen reputation warning the first time you run Command Dictate. This is normal for newly distributed independent software. Click “More info” then “Run anyway” to continue.
Download Command Dictate only from official channels: this site (netagig.com) and our GitHub releases. Chocolatey and WinGet packages are coming soon. Avoid third-party mirrors or repackaged copies. Compatibility depends on how each application handles normal text input.
Verify the file before running it. Every release publishes a SHA-256 hash, shown in the download dialog, so you can confirm the download matches.
