CorviCorvi for people who find typing or reading hard
Last updated: 2026-10-29
If typing for long stretches strains your wrists or hands, or long reading is tiring because of dyslexia, attention difficulties or eye fatigue, Corvi can move part of that work to your voice and your ears. Hold Fn to type by speaking in any Mac app; tap Fn to hear a short spoken summary of what's on screen. Corvi is a productivity tool, not a medical device.
Less typing
- Hold Fn, speak, release: your words appear where the cursor is, with punctuation, so you don't need to type or say "comma".
- Hands-free dictation: press Fn with Command and you don't have to keep a key held down.
- Voice snippets: long texts you use often (addresses, standard replies) are typed when you say their name.
- Personal dictionary: names and words you use are spelled right without corrections.
Using your voice for part of the day means fewer keystrokes. Whether that helps your particular situation is something to discuss with a doctor or therapist; Corvi makes no health claims.
Less reading
- Short spoken summaries: tap Fn on an e-mail, article, PDF or video and hear the gist in a few sentences instead of reading the whole text.
- Ask instead of searching: double-tap Fn and ask a question about what's on screen.
- Your own language: content in another language is summarized in yours.
Corvi gives you the gist rather than reading every word, so you spend less time listening as well as less time reading. More in read aloud on a Mac.
Start small
On day one, move just one thing to voice: listen to your first three e-mails, or dictate your short messages. Widen it once it feels natural.
Stop typing. Stop reading. Talk and listen.
Corvi is free during early access. Setup takes a minute; if you don't like it, drag it to the Trash.
