Intent

I need it when

Integrate voice input seamlessly into existing workflow without interruption

Global keyboard shortcut (⌘ + Shift + Space) provides instant activation from any app, with auto-paste directly into active text fields across emails, documents, Slack, and code editors

Transform rough dictation into polished, professional content

Premium features provide AI-powered writing style transformation (formal, casual, concise), smart formatting (email, bullets, notes), grammar fixes, and translation to any language

Capture ideas and thoughts faster than typing speed allows

Harker enables dictation at 150+ words per minute versus 70 wpm typing, allowing users to speak naturally and have text appear instantly in any application without copy-paste friction

Maintain privacy while transcribing voice to text

Harker processes all transcription locally on the Mac with no cloud audio upload on the free tier, ensuring thoughts and ideas remain private and offline
