When typing hurts, talk instead.

How Rubil helps

You say
Typing hurts.
RSI, tendinitis, carpal tunnel, arthritis or chronic pain.
One tap
Tap one key and talk.
Tap Right Option, or press Option and Space, to start and again to stop. Pause to think whenever you like.
No retyping
If sending fails, Rubil keeps your take.
It shows Retry, so you do not have to say it again.
The controls that matter here
Set it up so your hands do less.
- One key you choose. Right Option or Option and Space to begin with, or any shortcut you like.
- Keyboard or mouse. Start and stop with a key, or click the Rubil pill and then Stop.
Before you rely on it
What we haven't tested.
Affected speech
If you stutter, or your speech is affected, we haven't tested Rubil with you and won't claim it works.
Voice Control and screen readers
Rubil doesn't work well with macOS Voice Control today, and we haven't tested it with VoiceOver.
A caution on rereading
Speech recognition can mishear a word, and the text can still look right. Reread anything important.
