Dictation
Don't type.Just speak.
Voice-to-text that lives in a hotkey. Press it anywhere, speak, and clean text appears at your cursor — with cleanup, snippets, and your choice of model.
Any text field, any app
Speak anywhere you type
Hit the hotkey, speak, and clean text lands at your cursor — no integration, no API. If it accepts text, the Recorder writes into it.

What's inside
Faster than typing. Cleaner than talking.
Global hotkey
Hold, tap, or double-tap to dictate. Works in any text field, across any app, with smoother behavior and fewer accidental triggers.
Dictation Bar and Notch
A compact dictation bar and a notch-mounted UI show live transcription without getting in your way. Both stay reliable on long sessions.
Cleanup on the fly
Optional cleanup removes fillers, tidies punctuation, and breaks paragraphs naturally. Give it extra instructions to match your voice.
Snippets mode
Capture quick dictation clips into a snippets library you can browse, copy, and reuse. Perfect for the phrases you repeat all day.
Pick your model
Apple Foundation, local Whisper, Parakeet, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or BuildBetter — use whichever cleaner and transcriber you prefer.
Auto-paste
Finish speaking and your text lands at the cursor. Clear guidance shows up when permissions or the app path prevent auto-paste.
Multilingual
Use the transcription engine that fits your language. The app flags English-only Whisper models so you pick a compatible multilingual one.
Local-first privacy
Run entirely offline if you want. Cloud providers are opt-in and scoped to the ones you choose.
Bring your own engine
Pick your transcription and cleanup
Whisper, Parakeet, Apple Intelligence, Groq, Deepgram, BuildBetter — or your own cleaner running on OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama.
Part of a bigger toolkit
Dictation ships alongside Meeting Recorder and Screen Recording in the same app.
