About

MacWhisper is an all-in-one Mac transcription app for transcribing files, meetings, lectures, podcasts, videos, subtitles, voice memos, and private recordings. The app lets users drag and drop audio or video files, record online meetings, capture app audio, and use real-time dictation in any app. MacWhisper supports Zoom, Teams, Webex, Skype, Discord, and other meeting platforms without requiring bots to join calls. Its local AI models help users transcribe sensitive files offline so data does not have to leave the Mac. The platform includes speaker recognition, filler-word removal, translation, transcript search, editing, batch transcription, exports, summaries, chat, and custom AI prompts. Built for professionals, students, creators, researchers, journalists, and privacy-conscious users, MacWhisper helps turn speech and media into clean, searchable, editable text.

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.
