Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, open-source macOS dictation app that runs speech recognition on your Mac and inserts the text at your typing location.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Mac users who dictate prompts, notes, and terminal commands
Worth noticing: The page reports a 145 ms-to-4 ms reduction in stop-path work outside the model, measured with 13,600 history entries.

Field notes

The page identifies the release as v0.1.0, GPL-3.0, signed and notarized, and limited to macOS 15 or later. It lists several speech engines, including Apple Speech, while noting that Apple may choose where recognition happens. The project says it forked FluidVoice and removed telemetry and automatic updating; those are developer-stated claims, not independently verified behavior.
