Dictately
Hold a key, talk — clean text in any Mac app
The fastest, most accurate voice dictation for macOS. Speak naturally, get perfect text. 99+ languages, smart formatting, context-aware AI.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Giedrius, an independent developer in the UK, and Dictately is the Mac dictation app I wish had existed.
The idea's simple: hold a key, talk, and clean, formatted text appears wherever your cursor is — email, docs, Slack, your code editor, anywhere you type. No copy-paste, no switching apps.
I built it because I think far faster than I type, and the existing options were either pricey or sent every word to the cloud. So Dictately is:
Just works — install, pick a key, talk. Zero config. Punctuation and filler cleaned up automatically.
Private — English can run entirely on-device on Apple Silicon, so your audio never leaves your Mac. Other languages use the cloud and are discarded, never stored.
99+ languages with automatic detection.
Fair price — £6.99/mo, with a free tier (2,000 words/month, no card). Roughly half the obvious alternative.
Runs on Apple Silicon and Intel — designed & built in the UK.
For Product Hunt: the first 500 supporters can grab a Lifetime licence — pay once, every future platform included (Windows, Linux and mobile are on the roadmap).
I'd genuinely love your honest feedback — what works, what's missing, what would make you switch. I'm here all day 🙏
