Cosso for software and IT

Tickets, standups and incident notes,
dictated while you still have the context.

Say the ticket, the PR description or the chat reply and Cosso types it where your cursor is. It knows the names of tools and frameworks, so "post gress" becomes PostgreSQL and "versel" becomes Vercel.

Payment service rollbackWritten by Cosso

Hi Priya,

Quick update: the deploy to production is rolled back. We found a race condition in the payment service. The hotfix is in a pull request and should go out at 4 o'clock.

Thanks, Alex

  • Tool and framework names spelled correctly
  • "No wait" understood
  • Laid out as an email

What you get on top of plain dictation

Software vocabulary,
plus the names you add.

Free dictation turns speech into text. When you choose Software / IT in the app, AI editing also uses the field's vocabulary, and names you save in your dictionary are spelled the way you saved them.

FAQ

Questions about Cosso for software and IT

Can I dictate code?
Cosso is made for prose: tickets, descriptions, reviews and messages. It spells tool and library names correctly, but it isn't designed to write code syntax.
Does it work in my editor?
It types wherever your cursor is, so it works in editors, browsers and chat apps.
Is any audio or text sent anywhere?
Audio never leaves your computer. With AI editing on, the dictated text goes to our server and a model provider and isn't stored. With AI editing off, nothing is sent.
