ToolTip AI

A screen reader for
any Windows control.

ToolTip AI Aura is a voice assistant for Windows accessibility. Leave the pointer on a control — or press a key — and a floating capsule reads it aloud with local text-to-speech: what it is, what it is for and what happens if you press it.

A voice guide for whatever the pointer touches.

ToolTip AI Aura tells you out loud. It analyzes the element under the cursor — or the active window — and reads it with the system voices, from a floating capsule that you drag to the corner you want.

It works like a screen reader for Windows controls: instead of forcing you to read a label you cannot see clearly, it speaks the identity of the element. Name, type, value and state come from UI Automation, the same accessibility interface Windows already exposes, so it works across ordinary programs without any special setup.

Aura is published as its own listing on Microsoft Store and it is also the voice-and-radar layer inside the complete ToolTip AI application. On its own it brings the spoken guide and the rest radar; it does not bring the translation lens that the Translate listing adds.

How it decides when to speak.

Aura does not talk over you from the first day. The trigger is the time you stay still over an element, and you set how long that is.

The rest radar opens the capsule when you pause over a control, from 0.8 to 8 seconds — around 1.8 seconds by default. If you would rather call it yourself, Ctrl+Shift+A reads the area you snip and Ctrl+Shift+V repeats the last reading.
  • It reads the element, not a guess. UI Automation gives the name, type, value and state of the control under the cursor.
  • The capsule floats. You drag it to any corner and it stays out of the way while the voice does the talking.
  • Optional AI advice. Add your own provider key — Gemini, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter or Claude — and it appends an explanation; without a key it keeps reading locally.
  • Your key stays yours. It is encrypted on the machine with DPAPI, tied to your Windows user.

The beam tells you the state without reading a label.

Aura inherits the beam from the suite: a line of light around the pointer that changes color and rhythm with what the app is doing. You learn the rhythm in a day and know what is happening without looking.

Traveling

You move the pointer freely. Slow, thin heartbeat.

The reading is local. The AI is your decision.

Identifying the element and reading it aloud happen inside Windows: UI Automation reads the control and the system voices speak it, with no Dixi3 Labs server in between — there is no such server. Only if you add a provider key does anything travel, and it travels to the provider you chose.

  • Without a key it keeps working locally: you lose the expert advice, not the spoken reading.
  • No account. The license ties to the Microsoft account you use to install from the Store.
  • Password fields are protected. The fields UI Automation detects as passwords are neither read nor sent.
  • The capsule does not appear in screenshots or recordings, on purpose.

The rest of the family.

Aura is the voice-and-radar layer of a point-and-read assistant. The other pieces live in their own pages and listings.

ToolTip AI Translate

A hover translator: it reads the text under your cursor with UI Automation or Windows OCR and shows it translated beside the pointer, original intact.

ToolTip AI Voice

The read-aloud behaviour on its own: it speaks the translation or the advice with the system voice while you keep working on something else.

Open the FAQ

Questions people ask before installing.

Does the voice guide work offline and without an API key?
Yes. Identifying the control happens inside Windows with UI Automation and the reading is spoken with the system voices — local text-to-speech, no key needed. Without a key you lose the expert advice written by AI, not the spoken reading.
Do I have to create an account?
No. The app has no server of its own and no sign-up. The license ties to the Microsoft account you use to install from the Store, and it is not a subscription: it is a one-time payment for life.
Does it work on Windows 10?
Yes, from build 19041, and also on Windows 11. There is only an x64 build: there is no ARM64 build.
Aura, Translate or the complete ToolTip AI — which do I install?
ToolTip AI is the complete application: the three layers live on the same element, with a single panel and a single configuration. Aura and Translate are two of those layers living in their own listing. If you want the voice guide and the radar only, install Aura; if you want the set, the listing is ToolTip AI.
What happens when the free trial ends?
This listing carries a 7-day free trial, with no card up front. When the trial ends it stops answering until you buy it, and there is no automatic charge — there is no subscription to renew, so nobody charges you by surprise.

Try Aura free for 7 days.

It installs from Microsoft Store and updates itself. This page carries no hand-written amount: the Store shows the figure in dollars and converts it to your currency at the moment of paying, and that is the one that counts.
