Dictation (Pro)

← All features

Hold ⌥ Space and talk. whisper.cpp transcribes on your device and the text is pasted at your cursor in whatever app has focus - editor, terminal, browser, over a full-screen window too. Nothing is uploaded; the audio never leaves the machine.

• Push-to-talk or tap-to-toggle - hold to dictate and release to paste, or tap once to start and again to stop. Rebind the chord and pick the mode in settings.
• On-device transcription with whisper.cpp, the same engine the app already bundles - no API key, works fully offline.
• Paste at the cursor into any app via a synthesized Cmd+V; your clipboard is restored afterward.
• Live teleprompter overlay doubles as the visible recording indicator (privacy principle) and scrolls the current sentence as you speak.
• Recordings library - every dictation is saved, searchable, replayable, and can be re-transcribed in place.
• Transcribe a file - drag in an audio or video file and get the transcript.
• Custom words - bias the recognizer toward names, jargon, and product terms you use often.
• Folds into your timeline - an on-device LLM pulls the people, projects, and to-dos out of what you dictated, through the same observation pipeline as meetings.
