Kana as a LumeVoice alternative
A dictation app for macOS and Android that strips filler words as you speak and matches the style you have been writing in. iOS and Windows are on a waitlist.
What LumeVoice does better
LumeVoice runs on Android, and Kana never will. Filler-word removal is on by default, so the um and the you know are gone before the text lands, custom vocabulary and style memory are in every tier rather than behind an upgrade, and it claims 100+ languages against Kana's 26. If you dictate on a phone as much as on a laptop, Kana solves half your problem at best.
Where Kana is different
- Dictation runs on the Mac, and makes no network call at all.
- Kana is $9.99 once, after a 14-day trial. LumeVoice sells a three-day trial and then charges on every plan, forever.
- Filler words stay in unless you turn on AI rewriting and ask for them to go.
