Any language.Any application.Anytime.

Local, private voice dictation for macOS. No account, no cloud, no data collection. Dictate and your text will be pasted to any application.

On your Mac

100% local. 100% private.

Transcriptions are running 100% locally on your Mac. Which mean nothing is sent to the cloud to be processed. This mean it requires no internet, no account, and you avoid third-party vendor training on your voice data. You can use it in any app that takes text: email, chat, browser, IDE, Terminal, or anything else.
