Loquen puts local dictation behind one key

Field notes

The app uses a held key to capture speech and inserts cleaned text into whichever application is active. Its phrase system lets users name reusable blocks—such as an exam or email sign-off—and invoke them inside ordinary sentences. The page also describes a separate Privacy Mode that marks replacements for names, dates, contact details, and account identifiers. Current support is listed for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later, with Windows described as forthcoming.
