PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE DICTATION FOR THE MAC
Hold a key. Speak. It's typed.
Your words appear at the cursor in whatever app you're using. Transcription runs on your Mac, so your voice never leaves it.
Free · v1.5.0 · macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon · Notarized by Apple
How it works
Hold to talk
Hold the key, wait for the chime, speak, and release. Right Option by default, or any key you choose.
Hands-free
Double-tap the key and keep talking. Tap it once more to stop.
Live drafts
Words appear about a second behind your voice, then the final transcript replaces them.
Clean text
Punctuation and capitals, “um” and “uh” left out, and a new line when you say “new line”.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Nothing you say leaves your Mac.
NVIDIA's Parakeet speech model ships inside the app and runs on Apple Silicon. No account, no servers, no analytics.
