Cross-app dictation tool that transcribes speech to text and adapts tone per destination app, processed on-device.
Contextli is a dictation tool that converts spoken voice into typed text inside whatever application is focused - Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, and dozens of others - and adjusts tone and formatting to match the destination automatically. Higher tiers process both transcription and the tone-adjustment AI entirely on-device rather than sending audio to a server, which matters for privacy-sensitive dictation work. It's aimed at professionals who type heavily throughout the day, including attorneys, consultants, and project managers, and runs across macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android plus most major browsers. The free tier includes 100 monthly credits, roughly 2,000 transcribed words, with no card required to start.
Starter is $9/month for about 1,200 credits (100,000-150,000 transcribed words); the free tier gives 100 credits a month with no card required.
Use tool ↗Contextli's pitch is dictation that reads the room - the same spoken sentence comes out formatted differently for Slack than for a formal email, without manual tone-switching. The privacy angle of full on-device processing is real but reserved for the Pro and Pro Plus tiers, not the entry Starter plan, and the free tier's 100 monthly credits go quickly for daily dictation.
Watch out: The entry Starter tier does not include full on-device processing - that requires the Pro plan or above.
