Audience
Writers, developers, accessibility users and productivity-focused professionals in need of a tool providing private voice-to-text conversion, styled output and seamless integration
About Dictly
Dictly is a professional-grade dictation tool built exclusively for Apple platforms that transforms your voice into styled text entirely on-device, offering a privacy-first, offline experience. The app enables real-time transcription with sub-100 ms latency, supports a Quick Capture overlay (on macOS) which lets you summon dictation in any app via a global hotkey, and offers multiple insertion modes (type-out, paste, clipboard) and auto-submit functionality for chat boxes or message fields. You can define custom Workflows to format your speech as you dictate, turning casual notes into polished writing, bullet lists, or code comments, and the app adapts to the app you’re in via per-app profiles. It includes custom dictionary support (for names, brands, jargon, or coding syntax), a full transcription history (with search), local analytics to track words spoken and time saved, and all processing happens locally, no cloud upload, telemetry, or dependency.
