Next to what you use now
They all write good notes. The question is not the quality of the notes.
Your recording is transcribed on your Mac and the transcript lives in local history. For a call under NDA, speech processing without uploading the meeting to the cloud matters.
What it costs
Meeting recording and live subtitles are paid features. Plain dictation — your language in, your language out — stays free forever. Everything on this page is opened by the 30-day trial that starts by itself once you sign up in the first-run setup.
Processing on your Mac
Recognition and translation run on your Mac without sending audio or text to the cloud for processing. Meeting audio is saved to disk only if you enable saving and choose a folder.
Dictate in your language into any app. No word cap, no card — forever.
1 month free after you sign up in the app — no card
