AI Dictation in Slack
Reply to channels and DMs at the speed you actually think — Amical formats your dictation into the punchy, casual tone Slack threads expect.
Why typing in Slack is slowing you down
Channel context never stops shifting
You jump from #engineering to #design to a customer DM in fifteen minutes. Each message needs a different tone, and typing each one out interrupts whatever real work you were trying to do.
Quick replies still take real time
Even a one-line reply costs you ten or fifteen seconds of typing plus context-switching. Multiply by fifty messages a day and you have lost an hour to trivial Slack overhead nobody pays you to do.
Long updates feel like work
A proper standup post or design feedback in a thread can take five minutes to type out. By the time you finish, you have lost the thought thread or just defaulted to a useless one-liner.

What Amical does in Slack
Slack-native tone
Amical knows Slack is casual, conversational, and emoji-friendly. Replies come out concise and warm without forcing a stiff email register — and contextual emojis show up where they actually fit the message.
Mentions and handles handled
Say "at hannah" or "at the design channel" and Amical formats it as a proper @ mention or channel link. Names and handles in your workspace are recognised so the tagging just works without manual cleanup.
From thought to thread, instantly
Long-form standup updates, async retros, post-mortem write-ups — speak through them in a single take and Amical structures the output into clean paragraphs and bullet lists ready to post.
What you'd dictate in Slack
“Quick reply in a channel thread without losing focus on real work”
“Async standup with three crisp bullets covering yesterday today and blockers”
“Detailed design feedback in a thread without reverting to a one-liner”

ごめん、勝間さん。
ScribesよりAmicalだわ
This is really an amazing app, and I'm super impressed with how smooth it works, and their amazing support. It's just fast and accurate, and it formats the text depending on what application I'm using. This is really my go-to blathering app, and it makes my day so sweet and easy. Read on AppSumo →

現状Windowsでも使えるおすすめはこの3つ。
・Amical
・Aqua Voice
・Typeless
個人的には慣れもあるけどAqua Voiceが好き。Typelessは整形キツめなのが難点だけどUIUXが良い。Amicalはローカル完結で無料なのがデカい。
音声入力は移り変わりが激しいので年払いはしない方がいいです。
[Free] Amical for voice input is way too convenient. Reviewing the good and bad of Amical — and walking through installation too.

Not sure why nobody's talking about it, but there's a free AI voice input app that's incredibly usable. It's called Amical — I use it daily.
Translated
tried amical (free & open source) alternative to whispr flow, aquavoice because they both charged me over $10
and the fact that it lets me run everything locally so nothing leaves my machine is crazyyy🤯
r/macappsu/IAM-rooted
nice comparison. been using amical lately and surprised it's not mentioned more. it's open source, runs locally or with cloud models, and actually formats stuff based on what app you're in. feels way more usable than just whisper or vosk on their own.
I was using VoiceDash, currently I'm using Blip AI, and now I'm testing Amical. So far, Amical is really, really good in recognizing my language and fantastic in recognizing the English language. I'm really impressed in this short period of time of using it. Read on AppSumo →
Amical for voice input is great — runs locally so it's super fast. I was on Aqua Voice but the 0.5s lag between speaking and seeing text was stressful every time. Local model accuracy is slightly lower but well within acceptable.
