Before you install

Questions people ask first.

Does it work in Word and Notion?
Yes. Any Windows app with a text cursor works, because Latch pastes where the cursor already is.
Can I edit text that is already in the document?
Yes. Select it, press Ctrl+Win, and say what to change, such as “make this shorter”. The selection is rewritten in place.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every account gets 60 recorded minutes a month with every feature. No card needed. Past 60 minutes you get a reminder, never a cut-off.
Do you keep my audio or transcripts?
No. Audio and text pass through our server in memory for a single take and are dropped when the text comes back.
How long does setup take?
About a minute: run the installer, sign in from the badge, and press Ctrl+Win in any text field.
