  3. Enable Microphone, Speech Recognition, and Accessibility.
  4. Click a text field, hold Control + Shift, speak, then release.

Full setup, permissions and troubleshooting guide

Before downloading

  • Requires macOS 13 or later. Contains both Apple Silicon and Intel binaries. Windows is not supported.
  • Not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple. This build has an ad-hoc signature. macOS may block it on first launch. Read the installation guide and source before deciding whether to use Apple's app-specific Open Anyway option. Managed Macs may restrict installation.
  • Enable Require on-device recognition in Settings to require local processing. If disabled, Apple may process speech online. On-device recognition depends on Mac/language support.
  • Cross-app insertion requires Accessibility and a compatible editor. Keep the destination selected; use Copy if automatic insertion fails.
  • No automatic updater yet. Quit before replacing an older app. Re-check Accessibility after updating.

Downloads and verification

The DMG provides drag-to-Applications installation. The ZIP is an alternative containing the same app. SHA256SUMS.txt contains SHA-256 checksums for both downloads.

Validation: 45 Swift tests passed; arm64 and x86_64 slices verified; packaged app signature checked; disk-image integrity, mounted contents and ZIP extraction checked. Intel execution and a complete installation on a separate clean Mac have not been tested. Recording and editor compatibility depend on each user's permissions and setup.
