Pithflow is AI voice typing for Windows: hold Ctrl + Space in any app, speak, release, and the text lands where your cursor is. It has three modes. Structured cleans up what you said, Prompting turns it into a clean prompt for an AI, and Raw keeps your exact words. Tap Ctrl twice to switch.

Pithflow typed Structured Example

Okay, so I want you to look at the login page and see why it's slow. I don't know, maybe it's the database. Also, can you add a dark mode to the settings? And also check why the login page is slow on mobile too.

Cleaned up, your wording kept

In the app: tap Ctrl twice, or right-click the bar.

What are the three dictation modes?

How do you switch modes without leaving your app?

Most voice typing tools put modes behind a settings window. In Pithflow the switch is a gesture, so you can change it between two sentences without your hands leaving the keyboard:

  1. 1
    Tap Ctrl twice
    Quickly, on its own. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V never count.
  2. 2
    See the name
    The bar shows Structured, Prompting or Raw for a moment.
  3. 3
    Keep dictating
    Hold Ctrl + Space as usual. The new mode applies right away.

Prefer the mouse? Right-click the floating bar to move to the next mode. The order is always Structured → Prompting → Raw → Structured.

Which mode should you use?

  Structured Prompting Raw
Removes filler and false starts Yes Yes No
Follows your tone and intent settings Yes No, it writes a prompt No
Numbers separate requests Only if you dictate a list Yes, 2+ asks become a list No
AI rewrites your wording Lightly Into a prompt Never
Spoken commands ("new line", "period") Yes Yes Yes

Is it different from Windows voice typing (Win + H)?

Windows voice typing is free and built in, and for short phrases it's fine. It has one way of working: it transcribes what you said, so you dictate punctuation and clean up afterwards. Pithflow adds the choice — cleaned-up writing when a person will read it, a structured prompt when an AI will, and the literal transcript when nothing may change.

Frequently asked questions

How do I switch dictation modes in Pithflow?

Tap Ctrl twice quickly, on its own. Each double tap moves to the next mode — Structured, then Prompting, then Raw, then back to Structured — and the floating bar shows the new mode's name for a moment. Right-clicking the bar does the same thing. This is in the Windows app from version 1.40.6.

Will double-tapping Ctrl interfere with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V?

No. Only two clean taps of Ctrl by itself count. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Shift and any other combination never switch the mode. If you'd rather not use the gesture at all, it can be turned off in the Style settings, and right-clicking the bar still works.

Which mode should I leave on most of the time?

Structured. It's the everyday mode: it cleans up filler and false starts and follows your Style settings (tone, intent, formatting). Switch to Prompting when you're about to talk to an AI tool, and to Raw when you need your exact words.

Does switching modes change my Style settings?

No. Prompting and Raw override your settings only while they're active. Rotate back to Structured and your tone, intent and formatting are exactly as you left them.

Does Raw mode work offline?

No. Raw skips the AI rewrite, but your audio is still sent to Pithflow's servers to be turned into text, so you need an internet connection in every mode.

One key to talk. One tap to change mode.
