Offline dictation for Mac that drops finished text at your cursor
Listening, punctuation, paragraph breaks and cleanup all run on your Mac with no cloud step, so dictation works offline and no audio leaves the machine.
Dictato punctuates, capitalises and structures your speech, drops filler words, and formats spoken numbers, dates, times and amounts before the text appears in any app.
Choose between a speed-tuned Apple Silicon engine, a 99-language engine, a lighter multilingual option, or Apple's own model — switchable in one click without restarting your flow.
Assign a different tone, language and engine to each application or website, and let Dictato switch automatically when you change window — including Safari, Chrome and Arc rules.
