Press a hotkey, speak naturally — Dictami transcribes your voice instantly with punctuation, directly into any app. Powered by Whisper AI, 100% on-device.
No cloud upload. No monthly fee. No lag waiting for a server. Just your voice, instantly as text.
Audio never leaves your Mac. Whisper AI runs locally — works offline, no privacy concerns, no API keys needed.
Commas, periods, question marks — all appear automatically. No more shouting "comma" or editing a wall of text.
See words appear in real-time as you speak, right in a sleek floating pill. Text lands in your app the moment you stop.
Whisper handles English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and dozens more with the same quality.
Assign any key combo. Double-press to start, single press to send — or classic press-and-hold mode like a walkie-talkie.
Optional Ollama integration polishes grammar and style using a local LLM — fully private, no internet required.
No friction. Dictami sits quietly in your menu bar until you need it.
Double-press ⌥ Space (or any combo you choose). A slim pill appears — Dictami is listening.
Words appear in the pill with punctuation as you talk. Whisper AI transcribes locally — no internet needed.
Single press inserts the final text into whatever app was in focus — cursor, email, chat, code editor.

Never. Dictami uses OpenAI's Whisper model running entirely on your Mac. Audio is processed locally and deleted immediately after transcription. No account, no API key, no cloud.
macOS 13 Ventura or later. Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) is recommended for the best speed. Intel Macs are supported but transcription may take a second or two longer.
Whisper supports 50+ languages including English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and many more. Just select your language in Settings.
Yes — once the Whisper model is downloaded (a one-time step in Settings), Dictami works with no internet connection at all.
Apple Dictation sends audio to Apple's servers (unless you enable Enhanced Dictation, which is limited). Dictami is 100% local, adds punctuation automatically, works in more languages, and inserts text into any app via clipboard or Accessibility API — not just where the system cursor is.
Yes — within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. Email support and you'll get a full refund.
