Dict sits in your menu bar doing nothing until you press a hotkey. Then it listens to you ramble and somehow turns it into decent text. That's it. That's the app.

Your mouth
"ok so like um I need to schedule a meeting with the uh design team for like next tuesday at 2pm and also uh remind me to send the mockups before that I guess"
What adults read
Schedule a meeting with the design team for next Tuesday at 2pm. Send mockups beforehand.
Works wherever you can type (so... everywhere)
No groundbreaking innovation here. Just a thing that works.
An LLM reads your mess of filler words and "ums" and turns it into something you wouldn't be embarrassed to send.
Two languages. That's what we speak, that's what it supports. If you need Mandarin, this isn't the app for you.
For when you want to dictate code like a psychopath. It'll try its best with camelCase and snake_case.
Local Whisper + local LLM. Your voice never leaves your Mac. Not because we're noble, just because it's simpler.
Text shows up where your cursor is. No clipboard dance, no switching windows. Just appears.
Teach it your weird proper nouns and company jargon so it stops autocorrecting your CEO's name.
Brace yourself for the complexity.
Hit ⌥ Space from anywhere. A little waveform shows up. Dict is listening.
Say whatever. Be incoherent. Use filler words. Speak in Portuguese mid-sentence if you want. We won't judge.
Clean text lands where your cursor was. That's literally it. No step four.
Privacy
Seriously. There's no server. No analytics. No account. No telemetry. Dict can run fully offline because we couldn't be bothered to build a backend.
It's free and your fingers will thank you. Or don't download it. We're not your boss.
