Blurt, the Mac dictation app that keeps its ears local
A push-to-talk dictation tool that transcribes speech into whichever Mac app currently has focus.
Field notes
Blurt inserts locally transcribed speech directly into the currently focused Mac application, with push-to-talk or hands-free activation. The page describes separate local engines, including an 874 MB Accurate model and Parakeet v3 for English plus 25 European languages, alongside optional local polishing. It also documents meeting mode, per-app profiles, a vocabulary dictionary, and four outbound connection types covering licensing, updates, model downloads, and optional feedback.
