Push-to-talk Mac dictation. Hold a key, speak, release — Speechcap captures your raw speech, AI-cleans the fillers, and types flawless text into any app. Transcription and cleanup both run on-device on Pro — from $3/month.
No window to open, no recordings to transcribe later. Push-to-talk, like a walkie-talkie for writing.
Right Option by default — or fn, ⌘, or Caps Lock. Whatever you'll never press by accident.
Filler words, restarts, second thoughts — all fine. Speechcap cleans them up.
Text is pasted right where your cursor was. No window-switching, no copy-paste dance.
Most dictation apps push your audio to one cloud for transcription, then send the transcript to another for AI polishing. Speechcap Pro can do both on-device — Whisper for speech, a small on-device LLM for cleanup. No round-trips, no exposure, no internet required.
Select text and press your hotkey to open the transform menu — or hold a letter while dictating to apply one on-the-fly.
Hold ⌥, speak naturally, then tap a letter — F for Formal, I for Improve, T for Translate. Release the key and your transcript is rewritten before it ever lands on the page.
Four screens. Permissions, hotkey, a guided test, then you're typing with your voice.
Free is meaningfully useful — 2,000 words a month, raw transcription. Pro unlocks unlimited dictation, AI cleanup, transforms, translation in 89 languages, and on-device Whisper.
On Pro, yes — on-device Whisper transcribes without a network. The Free tier and Pro cloud mode both need an internet connection.
Free and Pro cloud mode send audio to our transcription provider over an encrypted connection — it's discarded immediately after transcription. On Pro on-device mode, audio never leaves your Mac.
Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never train on your data. We don't share with third parties.
Yes — toggle "tap to start" in Settings. We default to push-to-talk because it's less ambiguous about when we're listening.
Mac only today (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows is next on the roadmap; Linux after that.
