Audience
Anyone who writes a lot at a keyboard - developers, writers, support and sales teams - and people who need to type less because of RSI, arthritis or other hand pain.
About JotMic
JotMic is dictation for people who would rather talk than type. Hold one key, say what you mean, and finished writing lands where your cursor already is - in Gmail, Slack, Docs, your editor or any other app, with the commas, full stops and capitals already in place.
It takes out the ums and false starts and leaves every other word as you said it, so what arrives is ready to send rather than ready to edit. Teach it a name, an acronym or a piece of jargon once and it keeps landing right on both your machines. It picks up 99+ languages as you speak.
On a Mac it goes further and runs your computer: say what you want done - open something, switch to it, hit a menu item - and it happens. Drop in a recording and get clean text or subtitles back.
Free to start, no card. Mac and Windows, one account.

VoiceNote
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.

Apple Dictation
Apple Dictation is a built-in macOS feature that lets users speak to enter text anywhere they can type. Once Dictation is enabled, it can be started with the Microphone key, a customizable keyboard shortcut, or Start Dictation, then stopped with Escape, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key. On Apple silicon Macs, users can continue typing while they dictate, and Dictation resumes listening after keyboard input stops. Spoken commands can insert emoji, punctuation, new lines, and new paragraphs, while supported languages can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks. Dictation supports text of any length and stops automatically after 30 seconds without detected speech. When macOS is uncertain about a word, it underlines the text so users can choose an alternative or correct it manually. Multiple Dictation languages can be enabled and switched while speaking, and users can select a preferred microphone or let macOS choose automatically.

Speakmac
Speakmac is a private, on-device voice typing app that lets users talk instead of type in any application. Hold or trigger the dictation shortcut, speak naturally, and the app transcribes locally, placing text into the active window in under half a second without sending audio to the cloud. Speakmac automatically handles commas, periods, capitalization, and other grammar details, so casual speech arrives as clean, readable text. It is designed to work anywhere there is a blinking cursor, including browsers, editors, chat apps, documents, email, AI tools, and productivity software. The app supports more than 100 languages and adapts to different accents, with examples including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Finnish, and many others. Speakmac runs as a lightweight native background application rather than an Electron or web wrapper, keeping memory use low and the experience responsive.
