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

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.
