Speak. It types. Open-source, on-device voice-to-text for macOS. Choose from local Whisper, Parakeet, Apple Speech, and specialized ONNX models. After the model is downloaded, dictation audio stays on your Mac. The Tiny Whisper model ships bundled; larger models need a one-time download. No cloud speech service, no subscriptions, and no required Voca account. Hold a hotkey, speak, and your words appear wherever your cursor is.
