Linty

Linty is a dictation tool for Mac that puts your words wherever your cursor already is. Hold a key, say what is on your mind, release, and the transcript is pasted into the app you were already using.

Speech recognition runs on your Mac, so dictation keeps working offline once the model has downloaded, and your audio and transcripts never leave the machine. Dictations are stored locally so you can search, edit and copy them later, and a personal dictionary keeps names right.
