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.
Text to speech and voice AI across every device
Listen to books, PDFs, documents and web pages read aloud in a large library of lifelike AI voices.
Dictate instead of typing in almost any app, across Google Docs, Gmail, Slack, Outlook and more.
Turn documents or a short prompt into an AI podcast, and get instant summaries of what you are reading.
Use the web app, Chrome and Edge extensions, and native iOS, Android, Mac and Windows apps.
