Four steps from install to speaking your first message.
Visit console.groq.com, create a free account, and copy your API key. Takes about 90 seconds.
Download the Setup installer, run it, and paste your API key when prompted. That's the entire setup.
Hold Alt + LShift and speak naturally. The pill appears in the corner while you record.
Release the hotkey. In ~350ms, clean text appears wherever your cursor was — no extra steps needed.
Spitit uses Groq's lightning-fast LPU to transcribe your voice. You need a free Groq API key to connect.
1. Go to console.groq.com
2. Create a free account (no card required)
3. Click API Keys → Create API Key
4. Copy the key — you'll paste it during install
Tips & FAQ
Does it work offline?
No — Spitit sends audio to Groq's API over the internet. You need an active connection. Audio never touches our servers, only Groq's.
Can I change the hotkey?
Yes. Right-click the system tray icon → Settings → Hotkey. You can set any key combination or switch to toggle mode (press once to start, press again to stop).
Does it support Hinglish?
Yes, naturally. Speak a mix of Hindi and English and Spitit outputs clean Roman script. Whisper Large-v3 Turbo handles code-switching well.
How do I build from source?
Clone the repo, install requirements, and run main.py. See the README for full instructions.
Is it really free?
Spitit itself is free and MIT licensed. You pay nothing. The only potential cost is Groq API usage if you exceed the free tier — which is generous enough for heavy use.
