Voice dictation for the Mac · In development

Talk instead of typing.

Press a key, say what you mean, press it again. Clean text appears wherever your cursor is, in any app on your Mac.

How it works

Three moves, in whatever app you already have open.

  1. Press the key

    Put your cursor where the words should go, then tap your Talklucent key once. Prefer push-to-talk? Hold it down instead.

  2. Talk

    Say it the way you would say it out loud. Talklucent listens until you press the key again.

  3. Press again

    Tap the key again (or let go, if you held it) and your words appear at the cursor as text.

Why it feels different

Built for the way you already work on a Mac.

Works in every app

Email, Slack, docs, the browser, a code editor. Wherever your cursor is, Talklucent types there.

Your audio stays on your Mac

Speech becomes text on your Mac, using an on-device model. Your audio does not leave your Mac.

Cleanup that keeps your voice

Optional AI cleanup takes out the “um”s and “like”s and fixes punctuation and capitals, while keeping your wording. It sends only the text to an AI provider, never your audio. Turn it off and nothing leaves your Mac.

Speak Vietnamese, get English

A second key turns spoken Vietnamese into written English. A third does the reverse. Same press, talk, press again.

RequirementsMac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later)macOS 14 or laterEnglish and Vietnamese
