Capture and transcribe
Record, drop in an audio file or paste text. After a one-time download, transcription runs on your computer, not in the cloud.
AI TRANSCRIPTION · STUDIO & FOCUS WINDOWS PREVIEW
Transcripts and notes you can check against the recording
Record a conversation and WordHeld turns it into a transcript, notes and a mind map, all on your own computer. Every note links back to what was actually said, so you can check it.
WordHeld is being brought into NovaSoft Orbit. Until then it stays a Windows development preview with no public download.

AVAILABILITY & APPROACH
Built for
careful review
Studio and Focus are in a Windows development preview. There’s no public download yet, but you can ask us about trying it.
Local work, clear choices
Your conversations stay on your computer, and current Windows libraries protect stored text and audio. There’s no automatic sync, so back them up yourself, and think about where older copies and exports are kept before using sensitive material.
NovaSoft Orbit is in preparation
Cloud AI features are in development and aren’t part of this preview.
Release status
WordHeld is in beta, with no public download yet. A Mac version is in development and phone versions are early prototypes. It is not clinically validated and isn’t available for clinical use.
