100% on-device
Private voice-to-text for Mac.
Now free.
Hold a key, talk, and polished text lands in any app. Speech recognition runs on your Mac — and AI commands let you point at anything on screen and ask.
Capabilities
The whole toolkit, one hotkey away.
Everything below ships in the free app. No tiers, no unlocks.
March includes a one-time refund batch. Excluding it, revenue grew 8% month over month.
Ask AI about anything on your screen
Hold right ⌥ (the AI key), drag over a chart, an error, a design — any region — and ask. The answer appears in place. No screenshots, no app switching.
Per my previous correspondence, the deliverables remain outstanding. Talk soon.
Edit text with your voice
Select text in any app and hold right ⌥ — the orb switches to edit mode. Say the change, and the rewrite lands right where the selection was.

ok so add a function that um retries the api call like three times with backoff and uh log whatever fails
Add a retry wrapper for the API call: 3 attempts with exponential backoff, logging each failure.
AI formatting, tuned to you
Optionally let AI polish raw speech into clean prose before it lands — or flip on Coding Agent Mode and ramble your way to crisp, structured prompts. Custom instructions welcome.
AI command provider
Bring your own AI
Apple's on-device model, any OpenRouter model, or log in with your existing ChatGPT/Codex account. Pick per feature, swap anytime.
Dictation that never phones home
NVIDIA Parakeet runs locally on Apple silicon — fast, accurate, fully offline. Your audio never leaves the machine.

Learns your vocabulary
Correct a word a couple of times and it's quietly added to your dictionary — names, jargon, CLI tools. Changed your mind? Undo it right from the popup.
Two keys, two modes
Dictation lives on right ⌘ — hold it for quick lines, double-tap it for long thoughts. AI commands get their own key (right ⌥), and both remap to any shortcut you like.

ObsidianMultilingualEvery app, its own rules

The fix is simple. Just clear the cache.
Cleans up as it types
