Download CaringDictate-Setup.exe

This is the full app. It starts a free 7-day trial the first time you open it — and if you've bought CaringDictate, the license key from your purchase email unlocks it for good. Already installed? CaringDictate keeps itself up to date automatically.

  1. 1

    Click the Download button above

    The browser will start saving CaringDictate-Setup.exe to your Downloads folder. It's about 40 MB — usually just a few seconds.

  2. 2

    Run the installer

    Double-click CaringDictate-Setup.exe in your Downloads folder. Windows may show a security prompt — click More info → Run anyway (this is normal for new software that hasn't been seen on enough machines yet).

  3. 3

    Walk through the friendly setup

    CaringDictate downloads its voice models (everything runs on your own computer), checks your microphone, and lets you pick the key or mouse button that starts dictation — one tap chooses Caps Lock if you'd rather not decide.

  4. 4

    Start dictating

    Click into any text box on your computer — Word, your browser, Notepad. Press the key or button you chose during setup, talk, and watch your words appear.

Bought CaringDictate? Your license key is in your email

Trying the free trial? You can skip this — no key needed for the first 7 days. If you purchased, your license key was emailed to the address you used at checkout — usually within five minutes. If you don't see it, check your spam folder, then email hello@caringdictate.com and we'll resend it.

Your license activates CaringDictate on up to three of your own computers. If you replace one, just email us and we'll move the seat over.
