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
Whisperstream is a desktop dictation app for Windows PCs and Apple silicon Macs (beta) that converts speech into text for the focused field in other applications using a push-to-talk shortcut. After its speech-recognition models are downloaded, dictation can run locally and offline. Available models include NVIDIA Parakeet, Qwen3 ASR and Cohere Transcribe. Optional cleanup uses the on-device Stream-1 Mini model or a provider configured by the user. Features include custom vocabulary and text replacements, app-specific enhancement profiles, searchable transcript history, audio-file transcription, and voice playback and replies for Claude Code and Codex sessions. It supports dictation into compatible text fields without an add-in and is designed for people who want to speak into coding editors, email, documents and other applications. Model downloads, software updates and optional online functions may require internet access.
