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.

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, with no word cap and no card.

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.
No networkOnce the model is downloaded, it works on a plane and on a train.
Russian and UkrainianBoth recognised on-device by Parakeet, not the system model. The trial and paid plans use our fine-tuned version.

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.

Speech recognition runs on your Mac, no one counts words, and punctuation is there on arrival. Dictation is free forever, with no word cap.
