About

FluidVoice is a free, open source macOS dictation app that pairs local speech recognition with Fluid-1, an on-device AI model for polishing dictation. One hotkey lets users speak into any text field across email, documents, chat, terminals, code editors, and other apps, with text appearing in near real time. Local speech models keep dictation on-device and work offline, while optional AI post-processing can use Fluid Intelligence, OpenAI, Groq, or custom providers. Fluid-1 cleans up rough dictation, fixes formatting, capitalization, dates, names, and numbers, and adapts tone to the active app without changing the speaker’s meaning. Users can create custom prompts for different apps, while Write Mode, Command Mode, and Direct Dictation make it easy to switch contexts. FluidVoice supports more than 40 languages across models including Nemotron Speech 3.5, Parakeet Flash, Parakeet TDT v2 and v3, Cohere Transcribe, Apple Speech, and Whisper.

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.
