AlecRae Voice
AI-powered professional dictation for legal and accounting professionals.
Built with OpenAI Whisper for transcription and Claude AI for intelligent document formatting. Not a general-purpose dictation tool — purpose-built for how attorneys, lawyers, and accountants actually work.
What Makes This Different
General dictation tools transcribe your words. AlecRae Voice understands what you're drafting and formats it accordingly. Dictate a legal letter and get a properly structured legal letter. Dictate a tax advisory and get correct IRC references and professional formatting. No other tool on the market does this.
