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

VoiceInk is a native macOS dictation app that uses local AI models to instantly turn speech into clean text with near-perfect accuracy and complete privacy. It works across apps, letting users dictate emails, messages, notes, prompts, documents, and code without changing their workflow. Local models keep audio and processing on the Mac, while cloud providers are optional and only used when connected and selected by the user. Global shortcuts support toggle recording, push-to-talk, retry, cancel, and paste actions without reaching for the app. A personal dictionary teaches VoiceInk names, technical terms, unusual spellings, phrases, and Smart Replace shortcuts for frequently used text. Contextual awareness can use selected text, clipboard content, or visible screen text to improve transcription and AI-enhanced output. Modes let users save different transcription models, enhancement prompts, context settings, output behavior, and shortcuts for specific apps, websites, or tasks.
