Witness Makes You Check the Numbers Before It Types
A local macOS dictation app for Apple Silicon that turns speech into text at the cursor, with German-English mixing and an explicit verification step.
Field notes
Witness uses a hotkey-driven workflow: speak, inspect the raw transcript, review flagged material, then insert the result at the cursor. The page specifically marks numbers, dates, names, negations, and dictionary terms, and includes original-audio playback for comparison. It targets Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14.4 or later, supports German-English mixed speech, and describes a clipboard fallback when another application blocks direct insertion.
