FennecClick where it should go
Put your cursor in the spot where you need the text, just like you would before starting to type.
Free voice typing for Windows
Say it. Fennec types it.
Fennec appears as a tiny fox in the corner of your display. Press and hold it, speak what you need to say, then release. Your text will show up in the field where you were already typing. Whether you are using Teams, Outlook, a web form, or a spreadsheet cell, the process remains consistent.

No account. Nothing you say leaves your PC.
How it works
Hold, talk, let go.
No setup required and no account creation needed. If clicking a button is second nature, you already know how to use it.
Hold the fox and talk
Click the left mouse button and keep it pressed while you speak to the fox. As it listens, the animal shifts to a red color and white rings expand around it in a pulsing motion.
Let go
Let go of the mouse button once you stop speaking. Shortly after, the text appears on screen with all punctuation handled for you.
What it does
Made for people who would rather talk.
Fennec comes from a simple idea: some people just want to speak instead of hitting keys. We created it so you can do that without having to figure out how a new application works first.
Works in any box
Fennec works in any standard text input, whether that is a chat window, an email draft, your personal notes, or a search field. The software inputs the text directly into the box and leaves your clipboard completely untouched.
Learns your names
Tired of watching it mangle a specific company or client name? Enter that name just once to lock in your preferred spelling, and it will use exactly that format for every future instance.
Never types in the wrong place
The system does not attempt to guess if you navigate away before the process completes. Instead, it preserves your message and prompts you to copy it, ensuring no text ends up in an incorrect conversation.
Your history, your call
Every piece of text you enter gets saved in a history stored directly on your device, meaning no message is ever lost. You stay in control and can clear either a single entry or the full history whenever you choose.
Runs on your own PC
Your graphics card handles the speech engine whenever possible, while your processor takes over in its absence. Once you complete the initial download, you can use it fully offline without needing an internet connection.
Stays out of the way
Since the fox takes up very little space, it fits right onto your taskbar. Hover over it to see a short hint, or use a right-click to access the settings.
Privacy
Your words stay on your PC.
When you use most voice typing apps, your audio is sent out to an external server. Fennec handles the listening process entirely on your computer, ensuring that everything you speak remains under your control.
What happens on your computer
- The speech software running locally on your machine converts what you say into written words.
- The system stores your names, corrections, and message history directly in your Windows profile.
- When you launch Fennec for the first time, it pulls the speech engine from Hugging Face. This download happens only once.
What Fennec never does
- Your voice and every word you say stay private. We never receive them, nor does any other party.
- No sign-up required. You won't need to provide an email, create a password, or register for an account.
- Ads will never appear on your screen, and the software does not monitor your keystrokes in other applications.
Questions
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
Fennec is free to use, with no trial period, no subscription fees, and no advertising.
When can I download it?
The installer is nearly complete. Send a note to support@meetfennec.com and we will reply once the download is available.
Does it need the internet?
The download happens just one time. When Fennec first boots up, it grabs a speech engine that comes in at just under 900 MB. From then on, the app runs offline.
Do I need a graphics card?
The best performance comes from a graphics card, though the system will still run on just the processor if you don't have one. Expect it to take longer to finish when processing long messages in that case.
Which programs does it work with?
Fennec works with any Windows program that has a text input box. It enters characters just like a physical keyboard, so the application never learns that Fennec is involved.
It keeps getting a name wrong. Can I fix that?
Go to the fox by right-clicking it, then choose Settings. Head to the Names and words tab to add the name there. When the system writes something incorrect, apply the fix via the Fix mistakes tab. The next message you send will reflect this change immediately.
Can I delete what I said?
Sure. Just right-click the fox, navigate to Settings, and select the History tab. From there, you have the option to clear a single message, pick multiple entries for removal, or wipe out all of them.
