Faster than typing.
Truer than dictation.

Hold Right ⌥, talk, and let go; the text lands where your cursor is. Press Right ⌥ + Space to talk hands-free, Return to finish and Esc to cancel. You can pick Fn or Right ⌘ instead, and switch between Dictation and Translate on the bar while you talk.

No. A whisper works too, so you can dictate in an open office, in a library or next to someone asleep.

Dozens, English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese among them, even mixed with English in one dictation; it detects which you're speaking. Translate turns any of them into English. The app itself is in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

To Truespoken's server, which passes it to speech and language models to be transcribed and styled, then forgets it: Truespoken never stores or reads your audio and text, or uses them to train models. Your history and recordings are kept only on your Mac; your personal dictionary and settings follow your account.

Yes, more plainly. Without a connection, or when you're out of words, your Mac transcribes on its own with Apple's on-device speech recognition. Styles, translation, review and learning need the connection.

Macs with Apple silicon on macOS 26 or later. Sign in on as many as you like; they share your account's words.

For most people, about three times. A Stanford study measured English dictation at 161 words a minute against 53 on a keyboard, and a study of 168,000 typists found an average of 52. Cleanup matters too: Truespoken takes out the ums and false starts you'd otherwise fix by hand.

Only the final text Truespoken types for you, once. Silence and failed dictations are free, and so is restyling a past dictation from History with Retry style.
