I use VOX for long-form brain dumps while I walk or drive, and to dictate quietly at the office.

It hears me through my body, so it picks up less background noise.

I tap it to start/stop a note, and use a keyboard shortcut on my laptop to dictate.
what have ppl been using for dictating across long sessions? eg thinking out loud on 1-2 hour car drives and capturing bulleted notes

@Mrwhosetheboss gives the MouthPad a lick.

A trackpad on the roof of your mouth. Tongue moves the cursor, and a press clicks.

Now I can walk around and I can jot my thoughts down no matter where I am. I can whisper or I can speak normally.

Or you can use an invisible microphone that lets you dictate privately
imagine spending $80,000 going to uni to study compsci and you show up to your first full time job and they give you one of these

Who wants to dictate without bothering their coworkers?
Can you hear him? He’s whispering a prompt

No clunky gooseneck or influencer mic

Trouble hearing people in noisy places?

We're testing a new wearable mic. The person you want to hear wears it, and their voice goes to your hearing aids or earbuds, so you hear them more clearly.

20-min test in Dogpatch, SF. DM me, or tag someone who could use this.

One of our first VOX prototypes was basically 4 stethoscopes strapped to my head.

Today it's one under your shirt, but we're exploring other form factors too!

Many AI devices are mics that are always listening. We think that’s backwards. VOX hears you only when you press it. Quieter in both senses.
