From the doctor who built it
I am an internal medicine physician. I chart all day.
I trained in Miami and Chicago, and I have used every dictation tool that came through those years: Dragon, MModal Fluency, Wispr Flow, Willow Voice, Eloquent, half a dozen others. I watched them get better. Most of them are packed with features. Most of them are also too complicated, or not accurate enough, or not fast enough, or priced like a hospital bought them.
AI changed what is possible, and there is a lot of software now that will save you typing. Almost all of it is either locked to one app, or it works everywhere and charges you every month, forever.
I wanted one thing that was simple, that looked good enough to leave on the screen all day, and that worked in every app I touch. Paid for once. Everything included. Good for anyone who types, and built around the people who type the same paragraphs all day.
Charting is most of my day. I am still at the keyboard long after the last patient has gone home. Anything that gives me an hour back with my family is worth building.
So I built it. One key, no subscription, and my notes never leave my computer.
0 ms
key up to text
one real dictation, Apple M2
Measured by the app itself. Every dictation stores its own number in History.
You speak at about 150 words a minute. You type at about 40.
With on-device AI cleanup on, text still lands in under a second.
Speaking rate: National Center for Voice and Speech, via virtualspeech.com. Typing: typequicker.com.
A block of text you wrote once and named. Say it anywhere in a sentence and the whole block lands in its place, untouched by the AI. A normal exam, return precautions, the sign-off you type forty times a week: two words instead.
You say “loquen normal exam”
You get Instantly.
Speech to text runs on your computer’s own chip. AI cleanup runs there too. By default Loquen makes no network calls. None.
HIPAABuilt for HIPAA the simple way: patient notes never touch a server, so there is no server to trust.
Hold the Privacy Mode key instead of the dictation key, and Loquen finds and replaces common identifiers before your text is pasted: names, dates and ages, record and account numbers, phone numbers and emails, addresses. It writes them as plain words, and the cleanup pass then rewrites the sentence so it reads naturally. The year of a birth date stays; the rest goes.
A tool, not a compliance programme. Detection is not exhaustive. Review every result before sharing.

Vocabulary packs spell the words of your field the way you would. Eleven medical packs ship in the box, 4,230 terms, and the AI is told not to “correct” them. Medical core alone is 1,957, built around the drug names you actually write, generic and brand. No more metoprolol coming out as metropolis.
Medicine ships first because that is the job I know. Law, accounting, engineering and the trades are next, and a pack is one plain JSON file, so anyone can write their own.

A pack is one JSON file: the terms you want spelled your way, and the things a speech engine hears instead. Drop it in at Settings, Dictionary, Vocabulary packs. Yours always wins over a shipped one.
Any trade · yours
Hold the key and talk. Loquen works out which language you spoke from the sound alone, so you can change language mid-sentence and never touch a setting. The model that hears English hears all of them. There is nothing extra to download and it is no slower.
The vocabulary packs are English so far. Dictation works in all twenty-eight; the specialty word lists do not follow you into another language yet.
Name a language in Settings and it biases the decode instead of guessing. That is worth doing when the room is loud, the accent is strong, or the words are names. It also keeps the alphabets apart, so a Polish dictation never comes back in Cyrillic.
Mail, iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Office, your EHR in the browser, Cursor, Terminal, ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, Grok Bot. If it has a text field, Loquen types into it.
Per-app tone: casual in chat, formal in Mail, code in the terminal. Your own rules per app or site.
The questions people ask at this point, answered straight.
No subscription. No word limits. Every pack included. Updates included. Seven days free first, and fourteen days to change your mind.
