A local-first Mac dictation app that transcribes speech and inserts the text into the app you’re using.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-14 issue.

For: Mac users who dictate into desktop apps
Worth noticing: The homepage shows a mixed English–Chinese sentence and labels macOS the primary tested platform; Windows and Linux are experimental.

Field notes

The displayed workflow uses a global Ctrl+Shift shortcut: hold it to record, then release to stop and return text to the active field. The page describes local history and retry for saved audio, and names Qwen3-ASR 0.6B in its example. It presents macOS as the primary tested platform; Windows and Linux are marked experimental. Optional cloud transcription is described as using a personal Groq or OpenAI API key.
