For students

Write the essay in the time it takes to say it.

The blank page is rarely a thinking problem. You can usually explain the argument out loud to a friend in 2 minutes, and then spend an hour failing to type the same thing. Flit closes that gap: you talk through the paragraph and finished, punctuated prose appears in the document, at roughly 4 times typing speed.

No integration, no plugin, no waiting for support. Flit types wherever your cursor already is.

How it works

Three steps, and none of them is “open the app”.

  1. 1 fn

    Put your cursor anywhere

    Wherever you would normally type: a Google Doc, your notes app, an email to a supervisor. Flit has no window of its own to switch to.

  2. 2

    Hold the key and talk

    Speak normally, fillers and all. A small bar shows the words arriving as you say them, so you can see it working.

  3. 3

    Let go. It is written

    Finished text appears at your cursor about 0.7 seconds later, punctuated and formatted. No copying, no cleanup, no second window.

Prefer not to hold a key? Tap once to lock it on, or arm hands-free mode and Flit starts when you speak. Escape cancels any dictation.

Sound familiar?

You can explain the argument out loud but not get it onto the page.

Every tool that would help is a monthly subscription on a student budget.

Writing in a second language is slower than thinking in it.

Transcripts arrive as one unbroken block with no punctuation.

What it looks like

Flit wrote · Notion

The main argument here is that urban density reduces per capita emissions, but only above a certain threshold.

Fillers dropped, spoken comma placed, sentence capitalized. Nothing to clean up afterwards.

What you get

Prose, not a transcript

Punctuation, capitals and paragraph breaks are applied before the text lands, and “um” and “you know” are dropped. What appears in the document is a sentence you can keep, not a wall you have to edit into one.

Think in your language, write in it

99 languages, all running on your Mac. Flit works out which one you are speaking and formats in that language, using its punctuation rules. It never translates unless you ask it to, so an essay in German stays in German.

Course terms it has never heard

Add the theorists, chemicals, case names and abbreviations from your reading list to your personal dictionary. They come out spelled correctly instead of phonetically.

One price, and it stays bought

$49 once, for every feature. No Pro tier, no monthly bill through your degree, and no account to keep alive. It also runs with no internet, which matters more in a library basement than anywhere else.

Questions

Can it transcribe my recorded lectures?

No, and this is worth being clear about before you buy. Flit is live dictation: you hold a key and speak. It does not take audio or video files. If recorded lectures are the job you need done, a file transcription tool is the right purchase, not this one.

Is it good enough if English is not my first language?

It is one of the better reasons to use it. Speaking is usually faster than typing in a second language, and Flit handles 99 languages, so you can dictate in whichever one you think in and write the essay in the one it is due in.

Does it work without internet?

Completely. Every model runs on your Mac, so dictation works on a train, on a plane and in the parts of a university building where the wifi gives up.
