What our users say

Discover feedback from those who use OraWrite daily

★★★★★

"Blown away by this software! After trying several dictation solutions (including Dragon), this one is by far the smoothest. Recognition is nearly perfect even with my Southern French accent, and most importantly it works offline so my data stays with me. Simple installation, immediate ease of use. I recommend it 100%."

👤
Pierre D. User
★★★★☆

"Really wonderful application, dictation is accurate and very pleasant to use. On my somewhat sluggish computer (it's over 10 years old...), I just have a slight 3-4 second delay when I release the dictation button, but honestly it's not a deal-breaker. On a more recent machine, it must be even more impressive. Great tool, I recommend without hesitation!"

👤
André B. User
★★★★★

"This software is simply amazing! At this quality level, there's no equivalent value for money on the market, especially on Windows. It gets the job done, and then some. Honestly, hard to do better today."

👤
Jamel B. User
★★★★★

"As a dental surgeon, data confidentiality is an absolute requirement for me. This software meets that perfectly, while offering remarkable dictation quality. The value for money is simply unbeatable."

👤
José D. Dental Surgeon
★★★★★

"I save a huge amount of time every day with this software. Before, I spent hours typing on the keyboard; today, I work faster and I'm clearly more profitable. Essential when you're a freelance secretary."

👤
Stéphanie M. Freelance Secretary
★★★★☆

"I use AI every day for work, so I'm quite demanding. On my old PC, installation was a bit challenging, I admit. Support was super responsive, we sorted everything out, and I even helped fix a bug. The app is still young, like me, so it happens, and clearly it already makes it more robust."
