About

Apple Dictation is a built-in macOS feature that lets users speak to enter text anywhere they can type. Once Dictation is enabled, it can be started with the Microphone key, a customizable keyboard shortcut, or Start Dictation, then stopped with Escape, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key. On Apple silicon Macs, users can continue typing while they dictate, and Dictation resumes listening after keyboard input stops. Spoken commands can insert emoji, punctuation, new lines, and new paragraphs, while supported languages can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks. Dictation supports text of any length and stops automatically after 30 seconds without detected speech. When macOS is uncertain about a word, it underlines the text so users can choose an alternative or correct it manually. Multiple Dictation languages can be enabled and switched while speaking, and users can select a preferred microphone or let macOS choose automatically.

About

Aurio is a macOS application that reduces background noise from a microphone in real time and routes the processed signal through a virtual input device called Aurio Microphone. Users select that input in compatible calling, recording, or streaming apps, allowing the same cleaned microphone audio to be used across apps. Aurio works with a Mac’s built-in microphone, USB or XLR audio interfaces, and Bluetooth headsets, and includes an adjustable noise-removal strength control, an A/B audio preview, and a menu-bar on/off control. Audio processing runs locally on Apple silicon Macs and works offline. Aurio is intended for Mac users who take calls, record audio, or stream where fans, traffic, keyboard noise, or other background sounds may be picked up. It requires macOS 13.3 or later and an Apple silicon Mac; Intel Macs are not supported.
