# Hex

Hex is local voice dictation for Mac, Windows and Linux. Hold a key, speak, and
it pastes.

## How it works

- hold the shortcut, speak, then let go
- Hex transcribes on your device and pastes into whatever app you're in
- the first run downloads a speech model; after that nothing leaves your machine
- experimental features live in Labs, at the bottom of the sidebar

## Downloads
