Highlights
- Works in any app — press a shortcut from anywhere, speak, and your words appear right where you’re typing
- Accurate — uses the best speech models available, with a personal dictionary and optional screen context for smarter results
- Fast — connects directly to the model provider, transcription typically takes under a second
- Lightweight — 3 MB download, runs quietly with minimal memory use
- Private — audio goes straight to the provider and nowhere else, nothing is stored or logged
- No subscription — bring your own API key, pay the provider directly (typically a few cents per hour)
- Hackable — plain text config, AppleScript support, custom instructions per app
- 100+ languages — auto-detects and transcribes in your language
