The thought takes a second, typing it takes a minute

You already know what to write. Then twenty words have to go through the keyboard, and that takes longer than the thought did. All day, in every window.

Screencast: key held, sentence spoken, text already in the field
Not filmed yet. The frame holds its place and shows the size.

What it looks like

  1. 1Hold a key, in the window you are already working in.
  2. 2Speak the way you would say it to a person.
  3. 3Let go — the text appears where the cursor was.
  4. 4The app has no window of its own: mail, Slack, your editor, a search box, all the same.

What free actually includes

Not a crippled version and not a trial. Plain dictation — your language in, your language out — is free forever and needs no account.

Punctuation, unpromptedCommas and full stops come from the model, not from you saying them. macOS dictation in Russian adds none at all — that is where this started.
Nobody counts wordsNo daily cap, no monthly one. There is nothing to count: no server sits behind it.
In every appThe text is typed into the active window. No switching to a special editor and copying back.
Voice commands“New line”, “comma”, “question mark” — for the times you want to place one yourself.
No networkOnce the model is downloaded, it works on a plane and on a train.
Russian and UkrainianBoth recognised on-device by our own model, not the system one.

Next to what you use now

Everyone has dictation. Three things differ: where the speech is processed, who pays for each word, and whether punctuation shows up.

macOS dictationchecked 08.2026Free and on-device, but in Russian it adds no punctuation — the text arrives as one run-on line.
Cloud dictation appschecked 08.2026Speech goes to someone else’s server, and words get counted: every request costs the owner money.
In-browser voice inputchecked 08.2026Works only on the page that built it, not across every window at once.

Here the speech does not leave the Mac, no one counts the words, and the punctuation is there on arrival. Nothing is charged for it because there is nothing to charge for: there is no server that would need to pay for itself.

What it costs

Plain dictation is free forever and needs no account. The network is needed exactly once, to download the speech model — without it nothing works at all. After that you can live offline. The paid features start where one language goes in and a different one comes out, and where the text gets rewritten for tone.

Your speech never leaves the Mac

Recognition runs on your machine, on our own model. Neither the audio nor the recognised text is sent anywhere, and we hold no history of your dictations — there is nowhere to put one.

What exactly leaves your Mac, address by address

Dictate in your language into any app. No account, no limits — forever.
