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

VoiceNote is a private dictation tool for Windows and Mac that runs entirely on your own computer. Hold one hotkey, speak naturally, release — finished, cleaned-up text appears wherever your cursor is: email, Slack, documents, code editors, any app, no plugins. Audio is transcribed locally and deleted immediately; nothing is ever uploaded — switch on airplane mode and it keeps working. Every correction you make becomes a permanent rule, so your names, jargon, and phrasing come out right and keep getting better. No account, no subscription: a one-time purchase. Your voice never leaves your machine.
