Quick Start
Get up and running with Shout in under five minutes.
The single-shortcut workflow
One shortcut does everything. No modes to switch, no menus to navigate.
Press your global shortcut
The default is Control + Space (customizable in Settings). This starts marking a segment.
Speak naturally
A floating orb with audio visualization appears on screen so you always know Shout is capturing.
Press the shortcut again
Shout stops recording the segment and begins transcribing immediately.
Your text appears automatically
The transcription is copied to your clipboard and shown in a notification card. Just paste it wherever you need it.
Key features
Floating Recording Orb
An on-screen audio-reactive visualization that shows recording status. Click it to stop, or drag it to reposition.
Smart Paste Modes
7 formatting modes that transform your transcription before pasting — summarize, fix grammar, rewrite as email, and more. Shout remembers your preferred mode for each app.
Menu Bar Access
Click the Shout icon in your menu bar to see recent transcriptions, access the timeline editor, and manage settings.
