Hold a key. Speak Kurdish.
It's typed.

Three steps, once
Then you never think about it again
Install it
On a Mac, drag Kurdish Flow to your Applications folder and grant it Accessibility permission — that is how it types into other apps. On Windows, just run the installer.
Sign in
Use the same KurdishTTS account you already have. No API keys, no server addresses, nothing to copy and paste.
Hold the key and talk
Press and hold your hotkey in any text field, speak Sorani or Kurmanji, let go. The Kurdish text appears at your cursor.
Kurdish, wherever you type
It is a keyboard, not an app you switch to
Works in every app
Mail, Slack, Word, a browser, your terminal. If you can type into it, you can talk into it.
Sorani and Kurmanji
Switch dialect in one click. Both run on the same models that power kurdishtts.com.
Punctuation included
Commas and full stops are added for you, so what lands is text you can send, not a transcript you have to fix.
Long-form is fine
Speak a full paragraph in one press. It holds an utterance up to 30 seconds.
Nothing to configure
No keys, no URLs, no models to download. Sign in and it works.
Your clipboard is left alone
The text is pasted at your cursor and whatever you had copied is put back exactly as it was.
Before you download
What Kurdish Flow does not do yet
Mac and Windows
Requires macOS 12 or later on an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 and newer), or Windows 10 or later on a 64-bit PC. There is no Intel Mac or Linux build.
Windows may warn you once
The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen can show “Windows protected your PC” on first run. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. Signing is on the way.
It needs the internet
Transcription runs on our servers, not on your computer. Offline, it will not work.
No live words while you speak
You hold, talk, release — then the whole utterance is typed at once. Nothing appears mid-sentence, by design: no half-guessed words to watch being rewritten.
Stop typing Kurdish. Start speaking it.
Free for 500 dictated words every week — upgrade to Pro in the app for unlimited ($15/mo, or $10/mo billed yearly). You will need a KurdishTTS account — the same one you use on this site.
