Dictation the way it
should work

No cloud upload. No monthly fee. No lag waiting for a server. Just your voice, instantly as text.

🔒

Fully On-Device

Audio never leaves your Mac. Whisper AI runs locally — works offline, no privacy concerns, no API keys needed.

✏️

Real Punctuation

Commas, periods, question marks — all appear automatically. No more shouting "comma" or editing a wall of text.

Instant Live Preview

See words appear in real-time as you speak, right in a sleek floating pill. Text lands in your app the moment you stop.

🌍

50+ Languages

Whisper handles English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and dozens more with the same quality.

⌨️

Global Hotkey

Assign any key combo. Double-press to start, single press to send — or classic press-and-hold mode like a walkie-talkie.

🤖

AI Refinement

Optional Ollama integration polishes grammar and style using a local LLM — fully private, no internet required.

Three seconds
from thought to text

No friction. Dictami sits quietly in your menu bar until you need it.

Press your hotkey

Double-press ⌥ Space (or any combo you choose). A slim pill appears — Dictami is listening.

2

Speak naturally

Words appear in the pill with punctuation as you talk. Whisper AI transcribes locally — no internet needed.

3

Press once to send

Single press inserts the final text into whatever app was in focus — cursor, email, chat, code editor.

Questions

Is my audio sent to any server?

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.

What Mac do I need?

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.

Which languages does it support?

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.

Does it work when offline?

Yes — once the Whisper model is downloaded (a one-time step in Settings), Dictami works with no internet connection at all.

How is this different from Apple Dictation?

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.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. Email support and you'll get a full refund.
