Tirona Keeps Dictation on Your Device

Field notes

Tirona uses a global hold-to-talk shortcut on macOS, opens the microphone immediately, and places the resulting text at the active cursor. The site says each insertion is read back so failed writes produce a plain explanation instead of silently disappearing. It also supports transcription of voice memos, interviews, and meeting recordings, with speaker splitting and labels described for macOS. The stated model runs locally after a one-time download, and device settings do not sync between macOS and Android.
