Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built for speed, privacy, and reliability. WhisperDictate stays out of your way and just works.

Local Processing

Powered by WhisperKit and Apple Neural Engine. Your audio never leaves your Mac.

Offline Mode

Works without an internet connection. Dictate on flights, in cafes, or anywhere you go.

No Session Limits

Dictate for as long as you need. No minute caps, no daily quotas, no throttling.

Cross-Device Sync

Your transcription history syncs across devices. Start on your Mac, review on your iPhone.

AI Formatting

Smart punctuation, capitalization, and paragraph detection. Your words, properly formatted.

Voice Commands

Say "new line," "period," or "delete that" to control your text without touching the keyboard.

Your voice stays yours

Most dictation apps send your audio to remote servers for processing. WhisperDictate takes a fundamentally different approach. All transcription happens locally on your Mac using Apple's Neural Engine. No audio data is ever transmitted, stored, or processed externally.

  • Zero audio transmitted to any server
  • Runs fully offline after initial download
  • No telemetry or usage tracking
  • Open-source transcription engine (WhisperKit)
  • Sync uses end-to-end encryption
