What is Braina?

Braina is desktop software from Brainasoft that combines voice dictation with a voice-controlled personal assistant and an interface for large language models. The paid editions type what you say into any program or website, respond to spoken commands for editing and automation, and transcribe audio and video files on the computer. The free Lite edition covers voice commands and AI chat but leaves out dictation, and paid licenses are sold for fixed terms of one to three years.

Braina has a free plan. Paid plans start at $99 for a 1-year license on 1 Windows PC. See every plan

Good for

  • Windows users who want dictation together with voice control of the PC
  • People who want dictation, AI chat and automation in one program
  • Dictating specialist vocabulary with custom words and templates

Worth knowing

  • The free Lite edition does not include dictation; that starts with Pro at $99 for one year.
  • Licenses run for fixed terms of 1, 2 or 3 years, and Pro is Windows only: macOS support, on Apple Silicon, needs Pro Plus or Pro Ultra.
  • Refunds must be requested within 7 days, apply only to a first purchase of up to 3 licenses, and have 12% deducted.
  • The Android and iOS apps are remote microphones for the desktop program, not standalone dictation apps.

Key features

Dictation in any program
With dictation mode on, speech is typed into whichever field has focus, in Word, Outlook, Gmail, Google Docs or other software. No voice training or user profiles are needed. Paid editions only.
Spoken editing commands
Commands such as "new paragraph", "delete that", "undo" and "change language to German" edit and navigate while dictating, alongside a list of spoken punctuation marks.
Custom vocabulary and templates
Teach Braina uncommon names, addresses and technical jargon, and set up dictation templates and canned answers. The vendor says it already recognizes most medical, legal and scientific terms.
Voice assistant and automation
Built-in voice commands open apps, files and websites, control windows, play media and set alarms. Custom commands, hotkeys and keyboard macros automate repetitive steps.
AI chat and local language models
Chat by voice or text with cloud models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others using Advanced AI Credits, or run open models such as Llama, Qwen and Gemma on the computer.
File transcription and phone microphone
Audio files, and video files in Pro, are transcribed on the computer without an internet connection. Android and iOS apps turn a phone into a wireless microphone over Wi-Fi.
