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

VoiceNote is a private dictation tool for Windows and Mac that runs entirely on your own computer. Hold one hotkey, speak naturally, release — finished, cleaned-up text appears wherever your cursor is: email, Slack, documents, code editors, any app, no plugins. Audio is transcribed locally and deleted immediately; nothing is ever uploaded — switch on airplane mode and it keeps working. Every correction you make becomes a permanent rule, so your names, jargon, and phrasing come out right and keep getting better. No account, no subscription: a one-time purchase. Your voice never leaves your machine.
