Powered by its proprietary Expression Intelligence model, Voiskey transforms spontaneous verbal speech into context-aware high-quality text.
SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Voiskey, an innovative AI voice typing application, officially launched globally today. Developed by a Singapore-based AI voice research team specializing in affective computing and human-computer interaction (HCI), Voiskey is dedicated to understanding true human intent and bridging the "Expression Gap" between thinking and speaking.
While technical hurdles in speech recognition are being rapidly resolved, professionals working in today's digital environments still heavily rely on keyboards. Voiskey was built on a core insight from its engineering team: recognition accuracy is no longer the greatest barrier to voice interaction. Instead, the adoption of voice is hindered by real-world friction. The psychological hesitation of speaking aloud in public or restricted environments, the cognitive friction of mentally organizing thoughts before speaking, and deeply ingrained colloquial speech habits collectively form a fourfold barrier between a person's thoughts and the final text.
As a system-level interactive application designed to close this expression gap, Voiskey embraces the product philosophy: "Say it rough. Send it right." Users simply express their thoughts naturally, while Voiskey automatically generates polished text tailored to the current context. Unlike traditional voice dictation tools, Voiskey focuses on understanding what users truly intend to communicate. Leveraging its proprietary Expression Intelligence technology, Voiskey deciphers true user intent and automatically outputs high-quality, context-aware text based on the active application window. This breakthrough drastically reduces information loss during the cognitive-to-output pipeline, liberating users from the need to meticulously structure their words before speaking.
Core Capabilities Powered by the Expression Intelligence Model
- Whisper Mode: Engineered for open offices, daily commutes, and quiet public spaces. By allowing users to speak in a whisper, Voiskey enables high-fidelity signal capture and intent processing, effectively reducing the social hesitation to speak aloud in public.
- Context Awareness: Voiskey dynamically detects the active application on screen and automatically calibrates the tone and formatting of the output text. For instance, the same spoken input will automatically transform into clean code comments and technical terminology in development environments like Cursor and Windsurf, turn into concise colloquial team communication in Slack, and adjust to formal business correspondence in Gmail.
- Voice-Driven Coding: Tailored for AI-native software development. Engineers and developers can use natural verbal descriptions to instantly reference and invoke multimodal resources—including specific code functions, cross-directory files, and local images. Voiskey converts these into highly structured prompt contexts and feeds them into programming tools, making complex code generation, modification, and debugging completely seamless.
- Multilingual Support: Voiskey features deep optimizations for English and Japanese, alongside real-time translation capabilities across more than 100 languages. This allows global teams to think in their native languages and express themselves naturally while receiving high-quality localized output that meets the demands of cross-border collaboration.
During its private beta phase, these capabilities helped users achieve an average 5× increase in efficiency compared to traditional keyboard typing (validated by empirical data from 1,000 beta participants).
"During product R&D and early beta testing, we observed that user expectations for voice interaction have shifted far beyond literal transcription accuracy. Today, professionals expect tools to understand their underlying intent and adapt seamlessly to real-world workflows," stated Frank Jiang, Founder and CEO of Voiskey.
"In the past, the rapid evolution of generative AI focused on enhancing how precisely machines comprehend human language. Moving into the next phase, the crucial imperative is for technology to actively adapt to human expression habits. We firmly believe that voice is the key—speech is the most information-dense form of expression and the most natural interface between humans and intelligent systems in the AI era. Voiskey aims to eliminate the friction between thought and articulation, making the natural human voice the most powerful productivity gateway of our time."
Voiskey is now officially live. Mac and Windows users can visit voiskey.ai to download the desktop clients, while mobile users can download the application via the Apple App Store and Google Play. The current release supports over 100 languages. To learn more, please visit voiskey.ai.

Voiskey Officially Launches: The First AI Voice Typing App Focused on Expression Intelligence
Voiskey Officially Launches: The First AI Voice Typing App Focused on Expression Intelligence
ALBANY, N.Y., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- COTLIN today introduced the COTLIN 15" Undercounter Ultra-Clear Bullet Ice Maker (IMB55BI), a 15-inch undercounter ice maker for built-in or freestanding use for homeowners who want clearer, better-looking ice ready at the bar without relying on cloudy freezer ice, last-minute bags of ice, or countertop machines.
As more homeowners upgrade kitchens, wet bars, basement bars, and entertaining spaces, ice is becoming part of the drink experience — not just something that keeps a glass cold. From cocktails and soda to iced coffee, mocktails, and weekend drinks with guests, clearer ice can make everyday drinks look and feel more complete.
The IMB55BI is designed to bring that experience into a standard 15-inch undercounter format. It produces up to 52 lbs of ultra-clear bullet ice per day, stores up to 26 lbs internally, and fits naturally into home bars, kitchens, and entertaining spaces where drinks are served.
"Home entertaining is no longer limited to special occasions," said Owen, CEO at COTLIN. "Many homeowners are building better everyday drink experiences at home — from a weeknight iced coffee to a weekend cocktail with friends. The IMB55BI was designed to make clearer, better-looking ice part of that experience, while fitting cleanly into the spaces where people already gather."
Clearer Bullet Ice for Everyday Home Bar Drinks
The IMB55BI uses an advanced spray-type ice-making system that keeps water moving as it freezes. This helps reduce trapped air inside the ice and supports clearer, denser bullet ice than typical cloudy freezer or countertop ice.
Each bullet ice piece measures approximately ODΦ1.1" × 1.50" (ODΦ30 × 38 mm), creating a generously sized ice option for everyday drinks, home bar service, and entertaining.
The result is a clearer everyday ice option for drinks where appearance and serving experience matter — from cocktails and mocktails to soda, iced coffee, sparkling water, party drinks, and casual whiskey pours.
Built to Keep Ice Ready Before Guests Arrive
For hosts, ice problems often appear at the least convenient time — during a pour, in the middle of a conversation, or just as guests arrive.
With up to 52 lbs of daily ice production and 26 lbs of internal storage, the IMB55BI helps keep ice ready for family drinks, game nights, BBQs, and weekend entertaining. That means fewer last-minute ice runs and more time spent with guests.
Key hosting-focused features include:
- Up to 52 lbs of ice production per day
- Up to 26 lbs of internal ice storage
- Automatic stop when full
- Automatic resume as ice is used
- 12-hour timer to help align ice production with daily routines or off-hour use
A Built-In Upgrade From Countertop Ice Makers
Portable countertop ice makers can be useful for occasional use, but they often take up counter space, hold less ice, and feel separate from the design of a finished kitchen or bar.
The IMB55BI is designed for homeowners who want a cleaner built-in look, larger internal storage, and clearer bullet ice ready where drinks are served. Its undercounter format helps reduce countertop clutter and moves ice production into the space where drinks are served — whether that is a home bar, kitchen, wet bar, or entertainment area.
For homeowners who like the look of clearer ice but do not want to freeze, cut, and store ice by hand, the IMB55BI offers a ready-to-use clear ice solution for everyday home-bar drinks and hosting moments.
Designed for 15-Inch Undercounter Spaces
The COTLIN IMB55BI measures 14.9"W × 22.6"D × 34"H, allowing it to fit comfortably beneath standard countertops. Its front-facing ventilation system supports undercounter installation without requiring side ventilation space, while its freestanding capability gives homeowners additional layout flexibility.
A reversible door allows the unit to be configured for left- or right-side opening, helping it fit naturally into different kitchen, bar, and entertainment layouts.
Because undercounter ice makers can require planning for water and drainage, COTLIN provides installation details on the product page to help homeowners confirm fit before purchase.
Easier Ice Maker Cleaning and Maintenance Over Time
Ice quality depends not only on how ice is made, but also on how clean the system stays over time. The IMB55BI includes maintenance-focused features designed to make upkeep easier and more predictable.
- One-touch self-cleaning: Starts an automatic cleaning cycle with a single button to support routine cleaning.
- Hidden filter design: Keeps the filter out of sight while allowing convenient replacement.
- Smart filter replacement reminder: Alerts users when it is time to replace the filter.
- 9-level ice thickness adjustment: Lets users adjust ice thickness to better match different drink preferences and usage needs.
- LCD control panel: Shows ice-making status, settings, and maintenance reminders at a glance.
The IMB55BI is UL certified, providing added confidence for homeowners seeking a permanent undercounter ice maker for residential beverage spaces.
