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

Voice Gecko is a desktop dictation tool that transforms speech into accurate text across nearly any application, ideal for emails, coding, AI prompts, or note-taking. With a simple global shortcut, you begin speaking, and the words appear instantly, either on your clipboard or directly pasted in your active window. A persistent GeckoBar stays accessible so you can start and stop recording at any time, minimizing context-switching and letting you stay in flow. It supports a custom dictionary for industry terms, names, and code snippets, ensures your words are accurately transcribed, and keeps a searchable history of all dictations so nothing is lost. The software emphasizes privacy, raw audio stays on your machine (or uses local models when possible), and no recordings are uploaded unless necessary. Click the GeckoBar or use your shortcut to begin capturing your speech.
