Accessibility & RSI: typing without the typing
Repetitive strain injury, arthritis, carpal tunnel, a sprained wrist, or just a hands-free day — your work shouldn't stop when your hands need a break.
Dictate with two keys
Tap Caps Lock to arm VocalCraft — the LED turns on. Click any text box, tap Spacebar once to start listening, speak naturally, tap Spacebar again. Your words paste straight into the field you clicked. That's the whole workflow.
When every keystroke costs something
Anyone who has had RSI or carpal tunnel knows the math: hundreds of thousands of keystrokes a day, and eventually something complains. The standard advice — take breaks, ergonomics, dictate more — is right, but most dictation tools quietly punish the people who need them most: they're cloud-dependent, subscription-gated, or buried in menus.
Built to be kind to your hands
- Two keys, no chords. Caps Lock to arm, one Spacebar tap to dictate, one to stop. No Ctrl+Alt+Shift gymnastics while your wrist is already angry.
- Works everywhere you already work. No migrating to a special "accessible" app — VocalCraft pastes into whatever field your cursor is in.
- Instant, local feedback. Text appears as you speak, with no lag from a cloud round-trip. When fatigue is the enemy, latency matters.
- Private by architecture. Medical notes, personal letters, HR emails — nothing is uploaded or stored off your machine.
A note on accessibility and control
VocalCraft is a dictation layer, not a full voice-control system — it doesn't move your mouse or launch apps by voice. For many people with hand pain that is exactly the right scope: you keep your normal workflow and your muscle memory for everything except the typing itself. Combine it with your OS pointer tools and you can cover a full working day with a fraction of the keystrokes.

Frequently asked questions
Is VocalCraft suitable for RSI or carpal tunnel?
Yes — it was designed for minimal hand input: two easy keys replace thousands of keystrokes. Many users pair it with their existing ergonomic setup rather than replacing anything.
Does it require an internet connection?
No. The speech model runs fully on your PC. It works on a plane, on a farm, on a network you don't trust.
Can I use it all day, every day?
There is no usage cap or per-minute pricing — it is a one-time purchase and you can dictate as much as you want, whenever you want.
