SpeakMac
Type with voice anywhere on your Mac, offline and private.

SpeakMac is an offline speech-to-text app for Mac that uses on-device AI to transcribe voice to text instantly with no subscription required. It supports 25+ languages, works in any app with a text cursor, and optionally offers cloud-based transcript cleanup. The app is built for privacy — audio never leaves the user's machine by default.
SpeakMac runs an on-device AI model on Apple Silicon Macs that transcribes spoken words into text in under half a second and types them directly into any active window.
