On-device · Apple Silicon
Dictate anywhere on your Mac.
Instantly. Privately.
Press a key, speak, and your words appear wherever you're typing. The speech model runs entirely on your Mac. Your voice never leaves it.
Why Koegaki
Dictation that feels like the Mac built it in.
Private by design
The speech model runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no audio or text ever leaves your machine.
Instant
A streaming on-device model and a warm microphone mean text appears the moment you speak. No spinner, no upload, no wait.
Effortless
Hold a key, talk, release. Your words land wherever the cursor is: any app, any text field. Nothing to set up.
How it works
Three keystrokes from voice to text.
Hold your shortcut
Globe, a modifier combo, or any key you pick. It works system-wide via Accessibility.
Speak
An ember meter shows it is listening. Talk naturally; pauses are fine.
Release
Your words are transcribed on-device and inserted right where you were typing.
