Editorial interest 80/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS dictation app that transcribes speech on-device and inserts it into whatever text field you are using.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

TrivialVoice assigns dictation to a held fn or right-Command key, then inserts the local transcription into the focused app. Native applications use Accessibility insertion, while terminals and Electron apps use a Command-V fallback. The page lists Parakeet for Apple Silicon and Whisper for broader language coverage, with both models downloaded once and run locally. Searchable history, configurable retention, a personal dictionary, and writing statistics are presented as on-device features.
