VoiceCatalyst

Dictation that keeps your words.

VoiceCatalyst is on-device dictation for Mac that types exactly what you said — a faithful transcript, not a paraphrase. Tap Right Option, talk, and your words land at the cursor in whatever app you're in.

Requires macOS 26 (Apple silicon). Speech is processed on your Mac.

On-device speech

Built on Apple's on-device speech engine. Fast, responsive, and your audio doesn't leave your Mac to become text.

Anywhere you type

One key starts dictation; stopping inserts at your cursor — editor, browser, terminal, notes.

It learns your words

Names and terms you actually use prime recognition, so the transcript gets more yours over time.

Your data is yours; we never pool it. Your dictations accumulate into your own private corpus — synced for you, pooled for no one. VoiceCatalyst is free to start.
