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.

About

TexTab is a macOS productivity application that lets users turn any AI-driven task into an instant keyboard shortcut, enabling powerful text processing and automation without switching apps. It operates at the system level, so you can select text in any macOS application, browsers, email clients, code editors, documents, and trigger AI actions with a single keystroke, turning tasks like translation, summarization, rewriting, or formalizing into one-press commands. Users can create unlimited custom AI actions with unique shortcuts and connect to multiple AI providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Perplexity, or OpenRouter) using their own API keys, so the data stays private and costs are controlled; API calls go directly to the provider with no TexTab servers in between. It also includes features like a one-click AI prompt enhancer, native plugins such as a pop-up AI chat, QR code generator, image converter, and color picker.
