Hold a key. Speak.
It's typed.

Personal hold-to-talk dictation for macOS — fully local, English + Spanish. No cloud, no accounts. Audio and text never leave the machine.

Get scribe
Hold Right ⌥ and speak — the cleaned-up text lands here.
1
Hold Right ⌥
The mic is captured only while the key is held — the orange indicator turns off at key-up.
2
Speak
Parakeet transcribes in ~0.2 s. Gemma 3 4B strips fillers and resolves self-corrections.
3
Release
Text is pasted into whatever app has focus. If cleanup ever misbehaves, the raw transcript is pasted — you never lose words.

Full privacy. Your conversations go nowhere.

Local models only
Parakeet TDT v3 for speech, Gemma 3 4B for cleanup — downloaded once, then everything runs offline.
Nothing persisted
History keeps the last 10 dictations in memory only, never on disk.
Nothing sent
No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Audio and text never leave the machine.
