For Students
Beat the blank page by talking.
A 1,500-word essay takes 40 minutes to type and 10 to speak. Flunkey turns rambling spoken drafts into clean, punctuated text in Word, Google Docs, and anywhere else you write.
Typing speed shouldn't cap your grades.
Ideas arrive at speaking speed and die at typing speed. Dictation closes the gap: argue out loud, capture lectures as notes, and let Flunkey handle punctuation, filler, and formatting.
- First drafts stall because 40 wpm typing can't keep up with thinking
- Lecture notes end up as fragments you can't decode later
- Polite, formal emails to professors take longer than the assignment
- Proofreading eats the evening after writing ate the afternoon
Three jobs Flunkey takes off your plate.
Essays from spoken drafts
Argue your thesis out loud — structure, evidence, counterpoints — then edit the clean transcript instead of facing a blank doc.
“My thesis is that urban green spaces reduce heat deaths, first because of shade, second because of community cooling centers”
Lecture notes that survive
Summarize each lecture in your own words right after class. Speaking forces recall; the formatted notes make revision painless.
“Today covered mitosis stages, remember PMAT and that cytokinesis differs in plant cells”
Sound academic in one pass
Select a casual paragraph, hold F10, say 'make this academic' — tone, grammar, and clarity fixed in place.
“make this formal, fix grammar, keep my argument intact”
Your hotkeys, mapped to the work.
