VoiceInk

VoiceInk is a native macOS dictation application that converts speech into text almost instantly. It can process audio entirely on the device with local Whisper or Parakeet models, giving users a private offline workflow. Optional AI enhancement can clean up, rewrite, format, or adapt dictated text for different tasks. Modes apply different models, prompts, context settings, and shortcuts according to the active app or website. A personal dictionary improves recognition of names, technical terms, and recurring phrases, while configurable global shortcuts support toggle and push-to-talk recording. Context-aware tools can use selected text, clipboard content, or visible screen text to improve the final output. The app is written in Swift, supports macOS 14.4 or later, can be installed through Homebrew, and is available under the GPLv3 license.
