About
Push-to-talk dictation that inserts in place: hold fn, speak, release, and the text appears in the app your cursor is already in. Transcription runs locally with whisper.cpp + Metal, so your audio never leaves the Mac. An optional on-device cleanup pass strips filler words and fixes punctuation. Most dictation apps show you a recording dot or a generic soundwave. This one has hand-animated indicators. $10 once, no subscription. MIT source. macOS 14+, Apple silicon.
AI Summary
