Stenotype

Stenotype

Dictation that actually works.

macOS dictation is unreliable. Stenotype replaces it with OpenAI Whisper—faster, more accurate, and fully offline. Just speak and your words appear in any app.

Coming Soon

Two Ways to Dictate

Full recording for complete thoughts, or streaming mode to see words as you speak.

Smart Silence Detection

Auto-stops after 8 seconds of silence. No button pressing needed.

Works With Any App

Auto-paste into email, notes, code editors—anywhere that accepts text.

Private by Design

All transcription happens locally. Your voice never leaves your Mac.

Requires macOS 14.0 or later
