What's new in Eloksen

Coming soon

Planned, not in any release yet.

Command Mode

Hold a second key while you talk, and your Mac does it instead of typing it.

  • Open apps and websites. Say the name and it opens. Sites like Gmail open in your browser.
  • Search. Ask for a search and the Google results open in your browser.
  • Quick notes. Say it and Eloksen puts it in a new note, in Apple Notes or Obsidian.
  • Email drafts. A draft opens with the recipient, subject and message filled in. Eloksen never sends it. You press Send.
  • Music control. Pause, skip and set the volume in Spotify or Apple Music.
  • Your own words. Make up a word and have it open a whole set of things at once.

Eloksen for Windows

The same hold-a-key dictation, on Windows PCs.

Meet Eloksen

Murmur has a new name, the pill has a face, and Eloksen is now signed and checked by Apple, so it opens without any warnings.

Version 0.6.4 ·

Full screen, sounds and a new look

The pill now shows over full-screen apps, dictating makes satisfying keyboard sounds, and Eloksen has a new icon.

Version 0.6.3 ·

More accurate dictation, all on your Mac: uses the MacBook mic when AirPods are in (clearer, and music keeps full quality), listens for your Dictionary words and for names on screen, and learns a name when you fix it. Dictionary words can now be limited to certain apps, like commands to Terminal.

Version 0.6.2 ·

You'll now see when an update is ready: a dot on the menu bar icon, an Install Update item in the menu, and a banner in Settings. After updating, the pill says so, and Settings → General shows what's new.

Version 0.6.1 ·

AirPods keep full music quality after you dictate. Simpler setup: one permission switch instead of two. New versions now show a window with what's new and an Install Update button.

Version 0.6.0 ·

Customization page with five face styles, a faster first setup (the speech model downloads right away, with progress), and updates now install themselves.

Want something added? Every one of these started as someone saying "it would be nice if…".
