A small tool, made by people who type all day.
Lispr turns your voice into text, anywhere on your Mac. It exists because we wanted it for ourselves — and couldn't find one this simple.
Who's behind it
Lispr is built by Codebridge — a software company that designs and engineers products for clients around the world, with a particular focus on AI and multi-agent systems. Codebridge is a Microsoft Partner, headquartered in Delaware, with a core engineering team and a wider network of specialists.
It's led by two co-founders who met at KPMG and left to build software instead.
Why we made Lispr
We build AI systems for a living — and we type all day doing it. Messages, notes, code reviews, the endless small writing that fills a workday.
Dictation tools exist, but they tend to want a lot from you up front: a sign-up before your first word, an app window, a way of working. We wanted the opposite — something that asks for nothing and gets out of the way. Hold a key, say the thing, let go. The words are simply there, wherever your cursor was.
So we built it. Lispr is the smallest honest version of that idea: one gesture, any app, no window, no sign-up needed. It lives in your menu bar; the download is about 6 MB.
The keyboard has been alone for fifty years. We think it's time it had help.
You think faster than you type — everyone does. Speech models are finally accurate and fast enough to close that gap. Lispr is the first, smallest step: make speaking to your Mac and PC as effortless as pressing a key.
Honest about the stage
Lispr does exactly one job — voice to text, at your cursor — and it does it across roughly a hundred languages. Dictation and translation are free; Lispr Pro removes the weekly minutes cap for people who dictate all day. Everything else we might add later comes after this one job is genuinely excellent.
Try the thing.
The fastest way to understand Lispr is to hold a key and talk.
