More than dictation. Made in Germany.

For the self-employed and small teams who talk all day — with clients, in the studio, on the road — and still have to document it in the evening. If your head is faster than your hands, you’re in the right place.

Thirty-six, from German, English, Turkish, and Spanish through to Japanese, Ukrainian, and Swiss German. You pick the language per recording and keep a shortlist of the ones you actually need — the rest stays out of your way.

Not directly — and we say so openly. Klausi does not type into other windows. On the Mac there is “Dictate & copy text” for exactly this: Klausi records, you get the finished text on your clipboard — pasting is up to you. That dictation is not stored in Klausi. Inside Klausi, on the other hand, what you said lands exactly where it belongs: in the note, the task, the time entry, or the invoice draft.

Klausi matches what you said against your own records — your client list, your projects, your service catalogue. If exactly one entry fits, it gets set; if several fit, you get them as options instead of a guess. Name a client that doesn’t exist yet and one click creates it. Nothing is written until you confirm.

No. There is no wake word and no background service recording audio — you start every recording yourself. On the Mac, Klausi checks every twelve seconds whether another app is using your microphone, in order to offer you a meeting recording. No audio is captured in the process, only an operating-system device status is read — and the orange dot in the menu bar shows you any microphone use anyway.

When you dictate, your device opens a direct, encrypted connection to speech recognition in the EU — the audio passes through no Klausi server, and all that reaches us is the duration. Meeting recordings are different, because we process the audio for you: it sits in our EU storage for at most 72 hours and is then deleted automatically; the deadline is enforced in the database. Training opt-out is set with every speech provider — you don’t have to go looking for it.

Getting started is free: ten voice minutes and sixty meeting minutes per month. With Pro it’s three hundred voice minutes and six hundred meeting minutes. The Mac app itself costs nothing extra — it belongs to every plan, the free one included.

Not for dictation — notes, tasks, time recaps, and asking the assistant all work in the browser too. Two things are Mac-only: the menu bar with its floating capture bar, and meeting recording. There is no Windows version.
