A free, open-source dictation tool for macOS that converts speech to text at the cursor in any application. It solves the problem of typing by allowing users to hold a shortcut and speak, with text appearing as they talk. The product targets individual Mac users, including developers and general consumers, who want a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based dictation services. It is positioned as an on-device solution with no account, no telemetry, and optional cloud engines, distinguishing itself from competitors by its open-source nature and local processing.
