Dictation software for Mac

Kana is a menu bar app. It adds one thing to your Mac: a key you hold to talk, anywhere, and text that comes out finished rather than raw.

Push to talk, not a mode you enter

Dictation that requires you to open something is dictation you stop using by the second week. Kana binds to a modifier key and gets out of the way.

Rewriting, if you want it

Raw transcription is accurate but it is not writing. You can write one instruction, once, and have every dictation come out already cleaned up. That part is a subscription because it is the only part that costs anything to run.

What it costs

$9.99 once, for up to three Macs. Adding AI rewriting makes it $4.90 a month or $49 a year instead, and the subscription includes the app rather than sitting on top of it. Either way you get 14 days first, with no card and no account.
