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
StyleTyper is a desktop dictation app for Windows, macOS on Apple silicon, and Linux. Hold a keyboard shortcut, speak, and recognized text appears in the active application, including document editors, email clients, messaging apps, and coding tools. The app includes a customizable dictation bar with more than 100 visual styles and a gallery of over 1,000 additional styles. Speech recognition runs on the computer, and dictation works offline after a one-time language download. Audio is not uploaded, and the app requires no account and uses no telemetry. StyleTyper supports more than 100 languages. The first 2,500 words are free; continued use requires a one-time license purchase. It is designed for people who want speech-to-text entry across desktop applications, including those who write frequently or prefer speaking to typing.
