On-Device Speech-to-Text for macOS

On-device AI speech-to-text for macOS. Push-to-talk from the menu bar with local Whisper transcription and LLM post-processing. Privacy-first - audio…

In plain English

On a Mac, a button in the menu bar at the top of the screen lets you talk and get text back on the computer itself. The app then tidies the wording, can learn special words you use, and works in many languages. Audio is not sent away, which is the privacy promise, though you can choose a remote service if the on-device version is not enough. People pay because they want dictation that stays on the machine, and the AI does most of the listening and the cleanup, with payments handled too. The person running the app still checks quality, helps users, and deals with odd cases.
