Sotto is a free, open-source dictation app for Windows and macOS that puts spoken words wherever you can type.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.

For: Windows and macOS users who dictate across apps
Worth noticing: Its model catalog names Nemotron 3.5, Whisper, GigaAM v3, and Parakeet TDT v3, with language and size details.

Field notes

The site describes a shortcut-driven workflow: speak, receive text in the current app, and optionally apply formatting through a separate text-processing step. Its model guide names several local options, including Russian-focused GigaAM v3 at 214 MB and multilingual Nemotron 3.5 at 651 MB. The interactive preview is labeled simulated and explicitly says it does not use the microphone; Linux is marked experimental.
