Morning all. The proposal is ready for review, I'll send the final numbers after the call at three.
Try it: press and hold the key. This is a simulation; the real app types into your own apps.
Hold, speak, release
- 1
Hold the key
Put your cursor where you want the text and hold your dictation key, Right Shift by default. A small pill shows that Rodani is listening.
- 2
Speak
Talk the way you normally would, in Greek, in English, or both in one sentence. Pauses are fine.
- 3
Release
The text appears at your cursor and is filed in your logbook under the current project.
Prefer not to hold a key? Double-tap it and speak hands-free; Rodani stops on its own when you stop talking.
It types where you already type
- Slack
- Microsoft Teams
- Outlook and Gmail
- Your browser
- Word and Google Docs
- Notes and project tools
- Terminals
If no text field is focused, nothing is typed and the dictation goes straight to your logbook, so it is not lost.
Everything you dictate, in one place
A message in Teams, a search, a note to yourself: each one is also filed in your logbook. At the end of the week you can still find what you said, where, and for which project.
- By project
- New dictations are filed under the project you are working on. Switch project from the tray icon or the pill.
- By day
- Browse a calendar and see each day's dictations, word count and time spoken.
- Searchable
- Search everything you have dictated, across projects and dates.
- Yours to take
- Export the whole logbook as one file whenever you like, and import it on another PC.

Your logbook stays on your PC
Rodani has no cloud of its own. While you dictate, your audio goes from your PC straight to the transcription provider you choose, with your own API key. It never passes through us.

See every kind of data and where it is kept
| What | Where it is kept | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Your logbook: dictations, projects, summaries | A database file on your own PC. | You. An AI client only if you connect it and approve it; what it reads then travels through ngrok to that client. |
| Your voice while you dictate | Sent from your PC directly to the transcription provider you chose, using your API key. The most recent recordings are also kept on your PC. | You and your provider, under your own agreement with them. Never us. |
| Text for clean-up and summaries | Sent to the same provider, only if you turn on clean-up or ask for a summary. | You and your provider. Never us. |
| Your API keys | Windows Credential Manager on your PC. | You. |
| App settings | A file on your PC. | You. |
| Your account: the email address you bought with, and your name | Our server. | Us. |
| Your licence and purchase | Our server. The payment itself is handled by Stripe, and the email with your key is delivered by our email provider. | Us and Stripe. We never see your card details. |
| Licence check: licence key, an anonymous PC id, app version | Sent to our server when you activate the app and each time it starts. | Us. |
For advanced use
Share your logbook with the AI you already use
Rodani includes an MCP server. Connect an AI client that supports MCP, such as ChatGPT, and it can read your logbook to answer questions about your own work.
Off until you turn it on. It needs a free ngrok account, and what a client reads travels through ngrok to that client. You approve each client that connects.
“What did I work on for Acme last week?”
The client reads the matching days from your logbook and answers from what you actually dictated.
Questions before you buy
Is it really a single payment?
Yes. You pay once for the app. There is no monthly or yearly fee to us.
What does transcription cost?
Rodani is a bring-your-own-key app. You create an API key with a provider such as OpenAI, paste it into Rodani once, and the provider bills you directly for the audio you transcribe. At the time of writing that is roughly $0.10 to $0.30 per hour of speech, depending on the provider; check your provider's current prices. We add nothing on top. The Dashboard in the app shows an estimate of what each day cost you.
Do I need an account to buy?
No. You pay on Stripe with your email address, and your licence key is sent to it. To see your key, your purchase and the download again later, sign in here with that address: we email you a sign-in link. There is no password.
How many PCs can I use it on?
One licence works on up to 2 PCs. When you change PC, remove the old one on your account page to free its place.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. If Rodani is not for you, write to us within 14 days of buying and we will refund you. Our contact details are at the bottom of this page.
What do I need to get started?
A Windows PC with a microphone, an internet connection while you dictate, and your own API key from OpenAI (recommended), xAI or Mistral.
Which languages are supported?
Greek and English, including both in the same sentence. You can also lock Rodani to one of the two. The app itself is in English or Greek.
Does it work offline?
Reading, searching and exporting your logbook work offline. Dictating does not: turning speech into text is done by the provider you choose, so it needs an internet connection.
Do you store my dictations?
No. They are kept in a logbook on your own PC, and we never receive them. Your audio goes only to the provider you chose, with your own key.
Pay once. Keep it.
Rodani is a one-time purchase. Transcription runs on your own API key, billed by your provider for what you actually use, with no markup from us.
