Don't type, just speak.
Voice-to-text that runs entirely on your Mac. No cloud. No subscription. Instant, private, always on.
Works everywhere you type

No servers, no round trips, no subscriptions to external AI APIs. Just you, your mic, and Apple Silicon doing all the work.
Your audio never reaches our servers. Ever.
Transcription runs 100% on-device via whisper.cpp on Apple Silicon — no internet required. Optional AI refinement only sends already-transcribed text (never audio) to your own API key. HIPAA-friendly by design.

4× faster than the average typist
8 AI Dictation Modes
Each mode shapes the output for its context — powered by your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter key.
Voice Formatting Commands
Say formatting commands inline — no manual editing needed.
Works in Every App
Injects text at the cursor — no copy-paste, no switching windows.
99+ Languages
Auto-detects what you're speaking. Translate to English on the fly. No downloads.
HIPAA-Friendly
Audio never reaches our servers — no BAA required. Medical, legal, and confidential use.
Four steps. Zero friction.
From zero to dictating in under a minute.
Press your hotkey — or just speak
Hold Option+Space from any app and a floating HUD appears. Prefer hands-free? Set a wake word or double-tap Shift. Works from anywhere on your Mac.
Speak naturally
Dictate at your normal pace. Filler words (um, uh, er) are stripped automatically before anything else runs. Say "comma", "new paragraph", or "bullet point" to format inline.
Choose your AI mode
Voice for raw transcription. Email for a polished email body. Code for variable names. Meeting for decisions and actions. 8 modes total — or write your own custom instruction.
Text appears at your cursor
WhisperType types directly into whatever field is active — no copy-paste, no window switching. Say "scratch that" any time to undo the last insertion instantly.
