# Works Everywhere

klarvoice is dictation software that types into any text field — any app, any operating system.

## How klarvoice Works

klarvoice runs as a native app on your Mac or Windows PC. After installation, a small icon appears in your menu bar. Press your shortcut, speak, and the text appears exactly where your cursor is.

## Compatible Apps

klarvoice works in **every app** that supports text input. Some examples:

- **Communication:** Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, WhatsApp Web, Telegram
- **Email:** Apple Mail, Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird
- **Documents:** Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes
- **Code editors:** VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Sublime Text, Vim
- **Browsers:** Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc — any text field on any website
- **More:** Jira, Linear, Figma, Miro, CRM systems, and more

## How Does It Work Technically?

klarvoice simulates keyboard input at the system level. This means: any app that accepts keyboard input automatically works with klarvoice — no plugins, no browser extensions, no API integration.
