Why Willow Voice is being built

The founders spent an entire year pivoting across different industries before landing on Willow.

They started out building for assisted living facilities. The product didn’t land, but the founders discovered that dictation was a tool that helped residents stay connected and independent. That demonstrated how powerful voice could be.

Then, they pivoted to building for medical clinics. The founders saw how AI scribes were saving doctors hours on documentation and letting them focus on patient care.

Through all these pivots, one thing became clear. Voice dictation is a superpower for anyone who types a lot. It’s 4x faster and easier than manual typing.

Why isn’t voice the default way we interact with our computers? Because the technology just wasn’t there—until now.

That insight led to building Willow: fast, precise, and personalized voice dictation designed for how we work today.

The Willow Voice solution

What makes Willow special is that it’s not just basic voice typing. It’s smart, fast, and sounds like you. Here’s how:

• Context-awareness: Willow looks at what you’re working on so it can get technical terms, names, and phrases right.
• Custom dictionaries: You can add your own words—like company names, industry terms, or team slang—so they’re always spelled correctly.
• Smart correction and formatting: Willow automatically fixes mistakes and adds structure—like formatting emails, breaking up paragraphs, and handling punctuation.
• Personalization (beta): The team is working on making Willow sound just like you—adjusting tone and style depending on what you’re writing.
• Privacy: Willow runs in the cloud for speed and accuracy, but they never store or collect your voice or data. Privacy is their top priority, and it’s built into everything the team at Willow does. There’s an optional, opt-in setting for users who want to help improve the model, completely anonymized.

It’s 40%+ more accurate than built-in dictation tools, works in under a second, and is so good that most users replace nearly all their typing with it.
