Hold a key
and speak.
Diktai types your words at the cursor, in any app on your Mac.
Free · macOS 15 or later
Hold, speak, let go.
How it works
Step 1
Hold your hotkey
Press and hold Option, or the key you set. Diktai starts listening.
Step 2
Speak naturally
Talk as you normally would. Diktai removes the filler words.
Step 3
Text appears
Let go of the key. Your words are typed wherever your cursor is.
Works where you do
Your music waits.
Slack, Mail, your code editor, the browser: Diktai types straight into the app you are in, so there is nothing to copy and paste.
Music pauses while you speak and plays again when you let go. The notch shows when Diktai is listening.
Voice Editing · Pro
Edit by voice.
Select text, hold the key and say what to change. Diktai rewrites the selection in place: one sentence becomes a list of three.
Changed your mind? Undo puts the text back.
Your words
Teach it your words.
Add the names and terms Diktai spells wrong. From then on it writes them your way.
Your words, filler word removal and History are free.
On your Mac
Your voice stays yours.
The speech model runs on your Mac and knows 25 European languages. Pick one, or leave it on Automatic.
On Free, your audio and your text stay on your Mac. AI Formatting and Voice Editing (Pro) send text, never audio, to a cloud language model, and Diktai's servers store nothing. Switch either off in Settings, or skip AI Formatting in the apps you choose.
Simple pricing
Start free. Upgrade when you want more.
Dictation is free, unlimited and stays on your device. Pro adds Voice Editing and AI Formatting, which use a cloud language model.
