Accessibility

Built with accessibility from the start.

Typing is not equally easy for everyone.

Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it takes too much effort. Sometimes your hands, eyes, speech, or the act of getting words onto a screen make typing harder than it should be.

Rubil gives you another way.

  • When typing hurts

    Use your voice when typing is painful or physically demanding.

  • When typing slows you down

    Say what you want to say without having to get every word through a keyboard.

  • When your hands don't cooperate

    Use your voice when a keyboard or mouse is difficult to use.

  • When getting words onto the screen is the hard part

    You already know what you want to say. Rubil helps you get it there.

  • When you need more time

    Speak at your own pace. Rubil waits for your words.

  • When you don't want to type it all again

    Your dictations stay in your history, so you can find them when you need them.

You don't need a diagnosis to use Rubil.

If typing is difficult for you, Rubil is for you.

What helps

Built around the things that make typing hard.

Less effort to get your words onto the screen, and less to keep track of.

  • Accessibility starts in the code

    We build and fine-tune Rubil to handle different speech patterns, including repeated sounds and words, pauses, restarts and uneven pacing.

  • Long takes

    Speak for up to 15 minutes without stopping to restart. Keep your train of thought, work at your own pace and get your ideas down without breaking your flow.

  • Listen back

    Hear your saved dictations read aloud, even offline. Check what you said, catch mistakes and review your words without having to read them on screen. Available on Mac.

  • One tap

    Start and stop with one key, a click on the Rubil pill or a shortcut you choose.

  • Keep my exact words

    When you want a word-for-word record, keep the recognized words without cleanup.

  • Retry without starting over

    If a take doesn't send, Rubil holds on to it so you can try again.

  • Search your history

    Your saved dictations stay on your computer, encrypted and searchable, so you can see what Rubil heard.

  • Easier to read

    Make text bigger, add letter spacing or switch to a reading font that keeps similar letters apart.

  • Calm mode

    Turn off sound cues and quiet notifications when you want fewer distractions.

Accessibility is ongoing work. If you'd like to collaborate, help us test or share what would make Rubil easier for you to use, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].

You say: um hey dana the launch moves to thursday uh can you tell the team. Rubil types into an email: Hey Dana, The launch moves to Thursday. Can you tell the team?

Speed

3× faster than typing.

You speak about three times faster than you type. Rubil takes care of the punctuation, so the time you save stays saved.

A race. The same message is typed at 40 words a minute and said to Rubil at 150 words a minute. Rubil is done while the typist is still typing.

Formatting

The right shape for where you're writing.

Rubil formats your words for the app you're using.

  • Email. Greetings, paragraphs and a closing.
  • Messages. Short stays short.
  • Documents. Clear paragraphs.
  • AI chats. Lists stay lists.

Rubil formats your words. It never generates them. · See all supported apps

You say: um hey james can you move the launch to thursday uh the deck isn't ready. Rubil types into a Slack message: Hey James, can you move the launch to Thursday? The deck isn't ready.

Glossary

Teach Rubil your words.

Names, product terms, acronyms and shortcuts can be added to your Glossary.

Add a word once. Rubil uses your spelling.

You can even create shortcuts. Say "my address", and Rubil types your saved address.

You decide what goes in.

Four Glossary words, Northstar, Stephen Kelly, ARPU and my address, each written the same way across many messages.

More than dictation

More ways to use your voice.

Notes

Start with “Rubil” to save something to Notes instead of typing it.

Connectors

Connect your apps and ask for a draft. Rubil marks it as generated and inserts nothing until you choose.

Notes and Connectors are currently being built.

Three steps. One: you say, Rubil, the venue holds 80 people, Dana says, and Rubil saves it to Notes instead of typing it. Two: you connect your apps, so you can get information from them with a voice command. Three: days later you say, Rubil, draft an email to Maya about the venue and the deposit. Rubil pulls 80 people from your Notes and Deposit due Friday from a connected app, and writes one draft labelled Generated, with what it was based on. Nothing goes in until you press Insert.

Privacy

Your voice isn't our product.

Audio becomes text.

Your audio is used to turn your speech into text. Rubil then sends the text for formatting.

We do not store your audio.

Your words are for you, not for us.

History stays on your computer.

It is encrypted and is never sent to our server.

Analytics never include your words.

Our analytics tell us that you used Rubil. They do not contain what you said.

Your privacy matters because your words belong to you.
