About

Local AI speech-to-text and voice translation for Mac. Dictate, translate, and type in any language with Whisper AI, 100% on-device. Pay once, forever.

Features

Problem
Typing is slower than speaking.
How it works
Activates with Option + Space and transcribes speech in real time into the current cursor location.
Result
Voice input can be used across everyday writing workflows.
Why
Lets users dictate without switching to a separate transcription window.
Problem
Natural speech includes verbal fillers.
How it works
Removes fillers such as “uh,” “um,” and “like” from dictated text.
Result
Users receive cleaner text from natural speech.
Why
Reduces cleanup after dictation.
Problem
Cloud dictation can expose audio and fail without connectivity.
How it works
Runs Whisper AI locally on the Mac; the site says audio is processed in RAM and is not uploaded or stored.
Result
Private dictation that continues offline.
Why
Keeps speech processing on-device and avoids network round trips.
Problem
Dictation tools may only work in selected apps.
How it works
Types into any macOS text field, including browsers, email, chat apps, code editors, documents, and terminals.
Result
System-wide voice typing without app-specific plugins.
Why
Makes one shortcut usable across a user's workflow.
Problem
Multilingual users may think in one language but write in another.
How it works
Auto-detects spoken languages and provides local voice translation; the landing page states 99+ languages.
Result
Users can speak in one supported language and produce text in another.
Why
Combines speech input and translation in one workflow.
Problem
Recurring dictation subscriptions increase long-term cost.
How it works
Offers a $19 one-time lifetime license with unlimited transcriptions, updates, and three device activations.
Result
Predictable upfront cost for Mac users.
Why
Provides ownership rather than a monthly plan.
