Aiko
Aiko is an AI-powered audio transcription app for macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app converts speech to text from meetings, lectures, recordings, and other audio files using OpenAI’s Whisper model running locally on the user’s device. Aiko is designed for high-quality on-device transcription, making it useful for sensitive recordings that should remain private. The app supports Shortcuts, allowing users to build workflows for recording, transcribing, copying, saving, or processing transcripts. It is available as a Universal Purchase across supported Apple platforms. Built for Apple users who need private speech-to-text, Aiko helps turn audio into text without sending recordings to cloud transcription services.

Paraspeech
Paraspeech is a speech-to-text app for Mac and iOS that turns spoken thoughts into clean text with a simple hold, speak, and release workflow. On Mac, users press and hold a hotkey in the app where they want to write, speak naturally, and release; Paraspeech processes the recording and attempts to insert the result directly into the active editable field, with clipboard fallback for unsupported fields. Apple Silicon Macs can use supported local speech modes, allowing audio to be transcribed on-device and work offline after setup, while eligible cloud-backed paths are also available depending on the selected backend. Fast local models cover English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and 25-language dictation, while Multilingual Large expands coverage to more than 100 languages where available. AI Rewriting can turn rambling speech into cleaner, formatted text through Cloud Cleanup or, where supported, an on-device rewrite model.
