About

Dictly is a professional-grade dictation tool built exclusively for Apple platforms that transforms your voice into styled text entirely on-device, offering a privacy-first, offline experience. The app enables real-time transcription with sub-100 ms latency, supports a Quick Capture overlay (on macOS) which lets you summon dictation in any app via a global hotkey, and offers multiple insertion modes (type-out, paste, clipboard) and auto-submit functionality for chat boxes or message fields. You can define custom Workflows to format your speech as you dictate, turning casual notes into polished writing, bullet lists, or code comments, and the app adapts to the app you’re in via per-app profiles. It includes custom dictionary support (for names, brands, jargon, or coding syntax), a full transcription history (with search), local analytics to track words spoken and time saved, and all processing happens locally, no cloud upload, telemetry, or dependency.

About

Secretary42 is a desktop dictation application for professionals, writers, developers, and other people who want to turn speech into text while working in their usual Mac or Windows apps. A customizable global hotkey starts and stops dictation; the bundled whisper.cpp engine transcribes speech locally using downloadable Whisper models, and sends the result to the active cursor, clipboard, or a file. Users can choose models that balance speed and recognition quality and review, copy, or delete locally stored transcription history. The app is designed for drafting email, documents, notes, support replies, issue reports, and documentation. Dictation runs on the device without cloud transcription; an internet connection is used separately for checkout, license activation and checks, model and app downloads, support, and optional diagnostics. Secretary42 is available for macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows x64.
