What it does
Dictate anywhere
Hold a key, talk, let go. The text appears in Slack, Mail, Xcode, wherever you already were. There is no window to switch to.
Transcribe files
Drop in audio or video. You get plain text, SRT, VTT or Markdown back. Unlimited, and nothing uploads.
Rewrite with AI
Write one instruction once. Every dictation comes out already phrased the way you want it. This is the subscription, and the only part that touches the network.
Your own vocabulary
Names, companies and terms that every speech model gets wrong, fixed once and for good.
Per-app instructions
Dictating into Slack can read differently from dictating into Mail, without you switching anything.
Actually offline
Turn off your wifi and dictation still works. There is no account, no sign-in and no telemetry.
Compared with the alternatives
Each of these says what the other product does better, because on some of them it does.
Hold a key. Say it. It is written.
Dictation and file transcription are unlimited, and they run on your Mac.
