Blackbird sits quietly in your taskbar and works in every app you already use.
The side button on your mouse, or any key you pick. Prefer hands-free? Tap once to start, again to stop.
Speak like you normally would. Words appear live while you’re still talking — no waiting.
Punctuation, capital letters and numbers are handled for you. Hit send.
Recruiters, lawyers, salespeople, founders — anyone whose day is emails, messages and notes.
Clean, professional writing for email. Relaxed, text-message style for chat. Blackbird can switch automatically depending on the app.
Words land as you speak, not after. You see exactly what’s being written and can keep going.
Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, Word, Google Docs, your CRM, your browser. If there’s a cursor, it works.
Edit without touching the keyboard.

No. Side buttons are the most comfortable, but you can pick any key or key combination as your talk button — or use hands-free mode: tap once to start, again to stop.
That’s Windows being careful with new apps it hasn’t seen many downloads of yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. The installer doesn’t need admin rights and installs only for your user.

It handles natural speech, accents and fast talkers well, and adds punctuation for you. Names and jargon get even better once you add them to your dictionary.
Start it from the app. You add a card, pay nothing for 7 days, and can cancel in two clicks before the trial ends. If you keep it, Pro is $19/month or $190/year.
Yes. Open Blackbird → Account → Manage billing and cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
