About
Jarq is a Mac utility that lets users translate, shorten, fix, rewrite, or dictate text directly where the cursor is, without switching tabs or copying and pasting between apps. Select text in almost any Mac app and contextual buttons appear beside it, allowing the selection to be replaced in place or copied for later use. Users can translate between 13 supported languages, with natural wording that preserves tone rather than relying on literal word-for-word translation. Custom actions can also be created from plain-language instructions such as “shorten this,” “fix the grammar,” or “make it formal,” turning frequently used requests into one-click buttons. Jarq also supports dictation: press a hotkey, speak, and polished text with punctuation and capitalization appears at the cursor in apps such as Slack, Mail, browsers, Figma, terminals, and IDEs. Spoken input can be translated into another language as it is typed.

About
Take Dictation is a native macOS dictation app for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It converts spoken English into text in the text field of the app you are using, including Mail, Notes and Messages. Recognition and text cleanup run locally on the Mac, with no audio or transcript upload required. Users can start and stop dictation with a keyboard shortcut, choose microphone and dictation settings, and apply fixed cleanup rules to remove filler words and add punctuation without rewriting the message with a chatbot. The app is intended for Mac users who want to compose replies, notes and other short or long text by speaking. It includes a 14-day trial and is sold for a one-time household license; an account and recurring subscription are not required.
