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.
Context-aware AI voice typing for Mac and Windows
Invoke Loqua with a single shortcut in any text field — Slack, Notion, Gmail, VS Code, Figma, terminals and more — with no app switching.
Automatically strips filler words, removes repetition and repairs mid-sentence self-corrections so the text is ready to send.
Detects lists, headings and hierarchy in what you say and formats the output as structured notes rather than a wall of text.
Select a chart, table or error on screen, ask a spoken question, and get analysis, translation or a summary without leaving your current app.
