बोल कर लिखो
Press a hotkey anywhere on Windows. Speak in any Indian language. Clean, fluent English appears at your cursor — in Slack, Word, Notion, Gmail, or anywhere you type. Mac beta available on request.
The daily tax
Every sentence costs you twice. BolKe removes all of it.
You form the idea in your language, then translate before your fingers hit the keyboard. Every sentence is double the cognitive work.
Your words arrive far slower than your thoughts. English typing feels labored when it's not your first language.
Google Translate tab. Copy. Paste. Tab back. Lose your train of thought. Three apps open just to write one paragraph.
How it works
Hit Ctrl+Shift+D from wherever you are — Slack thread, Word doc, email, notes app. No window switching. No clicking.
Say anything in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, or Bengali. At your natural pace.
English text appears exactly at your cursor. Release, keep going.
Watch the full flow: press Ctrl+Shift+D → speak Hindi → English appears at your cursor ✓
Works everywhere
Not a browser extension. One global hotkey works in every app on your system.

Frequently asked
BolKe is a desktop app for Windows (Mac in beta) that lets you speak in any Indian language — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, or Bengali — and have clean, fluent English text appear at your cursor in any application. Press a global hotkey, speak naturally, and English appears in Slack, Word, Notion, Gmail, VS Code, or anywhere else you can type.

BolKe supports Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali at launch. It is built on Sarvam AI Saaras v3, which covers all 22 official Indian languages — Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu and others are on the public roadmap.
Wispr Flow is excellent for English-first voice typing but is not built for Indian languages or accents. BolKe is built specifically for Indian language speakers: it translates as it transcribes (speak Hindi, get English — not just Hindi transcribed in Devanagari), uses a speech model trained on Indian languages and accents, and is priced in INR.
Windows Speech Recognition and Voice Access only transcribe — they cannot speak-in-Hindi-write-in-English. BolKe combines speech recognition trained on Indian accents with translation, so a single hotkey turns spoken Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, or Bengali into fluent English text in any app.
BolKe has a free tier with 15 minutes of voice typing per month, no credit card required. Paid plans for heavier use are coming during the beta — early waitlist users will get priority pricing.
BolKe is a system-wide desktop app, not a browser extension. It works in any application that accepts text input — Slack, Microsoft Word, Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, VS Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn, and any other Windows or Mac app where your cursor can type.
BolKe sends audio to a transcription service for processing and does not retain recordings after the transcription is returned. See the BolKe privacy policy for the full data handling details.
BolKe is powered by Sarvam AI Saaras v3, an Indic speech recognition model that benchmarks above Google Speech-to-Text, OpenAI Whisper, and Deepgram on Indian language word error rate. Accuracy is highest for clear speech in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali.
