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.

About
Dictation with Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) works well for "WSR-friendly" applications like MS Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Dictated text is inserted directly into document text, and commands like "Delete hedgehog" can refer to specific document text. But WSR dictation works less well for "WSR-unfriendly" applications like MS Excel, Gmail, and most programming environments. Dictation is not inserted directly into document text, and commands cannot refer to document text. Vocola improves this situation by supporting direct dictation for WSR-unfriendly applications, and by allowing correction and modification of the just-dictated phrase. Vocola and WSR use the same underlying speech profile, so any improvements you make via training, correction, or the speech dictionary benefit WSR dictation and Vocola dictation equally. Dictation to WSR-unfriendly applications is essentially unusable in Vista, as every utterance raises the correction panel.
