Heardly brings dictation and transcription to the Mac
A Mac app for voice dictation, live call transcription, and transcribing audio or video files.
- For
- Mac users who dictate, record calls, or transcribe media
- Worth noticing
- The live mode combines microphone and computer audio; the site says no bot joins the call.
Field notes
The homepage describes three workflows: hold a hotkey to dictate into the focused app, transcribe microphone and computer audio during calls, or drop audio/video files for background transcription. It lists Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Yandex Telemost, MTS Link and FaceTime, and says timestamped transcripts can be exported as DOCX, PDF, subtitles or a spreadsheet. The site says recognition and history remain on the Mac; that privacy claim is presented by the vendor, not independently verified here.
