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.
Just speak. Write faster, in any app.
Everything from tone and punctuation to structure and formatting is cleaned up automatically, and the finished text is pasted into the active app for you.
Transcribe with local models when you have no connection, and switch to cloud models when you need more reasoning power or translation.
Register names, abbreviations and industry jargon once and Superwhisper will spell them correctly from then on.
Save presets that define tone, structure and formatting, and choose between models such as GPT, Claude and Llama for each task.
