Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.
Push-to-talk dictation for macOS with fully on-device speech recognition
A compact neural speech model runs locally on Apple Silicon, so your audio never leaves your Mac and no internet connection is needed.
Hold a hotkey — including mouse buttons — and text appears at the cursor in whatever application is in front, with no integrations to configure.
Chain voice input with AI skills, conditions, text transforms, screenshots, clipboard capture, app switching and output nodes to automate recurring voice workflows.
Use Apple Intelligence, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or a local Ollama model for post-processing, or run Spoke as pure dictation with no AI at all.
Provides extensive template and timeline effects with strong AI tools, but lacks Descript's seamless word-level script editing.
