Frequently asked questions
What software lets me dictate long documents hands-free?
The Virtusx AI App provides voice typing/dictation in 50+ languages that works into any application, not just a single text box. It runs both in the cloud and offline, and is activated instantly from the Voice or AI buttons on the Virtusx Jethro AI Mouse or the AI key on the Phronesis keyboard.
Is there software that translates what I'm typing into another language instantly as I write?
The Virtusx AI App includes real-time voice and text translation built into the same app used for dictation. On the Jethro mouse, holding the Translation button triggers voice translation and clicking it translates a selected word.
Can I get instant translation while chatting with coworkers who speak a different language?
Yes, the Virtusx AI App's real-time translation feature works during live conversation, converting speech on the fly so you can follow coworkers in another language. It is not tied to any specific meeting platform.
Is there software that translates or rewrites text on my screen without me having to copy and paste?
Yes. Select the text in any app (browser, Word, PDF or email), tap the Translation key once on the Jethro mouse, and the Virtusx AI App's Smart Toolbar appears next to it with Translate, Rewrite, Extend, Expand, Shorten, Summarize, Keyword, AI-Chat and Email Reply. The result is copied or inserted back in place, so there is no copy-paste into a separate window.
