Why Speakmac?

Because typing is the bottleneck.

Private by Design

Your voice data stays on your device. We don't want it, we don't see it, and we definitely don't sell it.

Blazing Fast

Optimized for Apple Silicon. It feels instant because it is. No round-trip to a server halfway across the world.

Buy Once, Own Forever

No monthly subscriptions. No "credits". Just a simple, honest software license.

It knows grammar so you don't have to.

Speak casually. Speakmac handles the commas, periods, and capitalization instantly. It's like having an editor in your clipboard.

Faster than your fingers.

Text lands in your active window in under half a second. By the time you release the hotkey, your thought is already on the screen.

Lightweight app. Zero bloat.

A background app that respects your RAM. No Electron, no web wrappers, just pure, optimized macOS code.

Looks really great as a former designer of iOS apps.

It's improved a lot! I tried it with background noise using AirPods, and it captures text correctly. Even when playing a cricket commentator video, it captured the audio perfectly.

I tried both Siri and SpeakMac. I spoke very fast with low volume.Siri couldn't understand, but SpeakMac did. That was my 'wow' moment.

The accuracy is way better than I expected, and I love how seamlessly it integrates with Mac. I've been looking for something like this that doesn't feel clunky.

I didn't expect to use SpeakMac this much, but it's become my go-to for writing content ideas, captions, and quick drafts. It picks up my voice perfectly, even when I'm talking fast. It feels effortless - like my Mac finally understands how I work.

Dude i am lovin it. My productivity is really increased. Even a few times while speaking, if i mumble and re speak partial sentence, it understands that very well adjusts on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once, and the version you bought is yours forever. We hate rent-seeking software as much as you do.

What if I want updates next year?

Your license covers one year of updates. After that, you can renew for updates if you want, or just keep using the version you have. No lock-out.

Does my voice go to the cloud?

Never. Everything runs locally on your Mac. Zero data leaves your machine.

Do I need any API key?

Nope. Just download the model once and you're set. No accounts, no API keys.

Which Macs are supported?

Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). We need the Neural Engine for the local models to fly.

Can I use it on my laptop and desktop?

The Personal license covers one Mac. The Pro license covers two Macs, so you can put it on both your daily driver and your travel machine.

Does it work in VS Code / XCode?

It works literally everywhere. If there is a blinking cursor, Speakmac can type there.

Privacy?

We don't want your data. We don't track your keystrokes. We don't train on your voice. It's your Mac, keep it private.

maker of Speakmac

I built Speakmac because I was frustrated. I was spending $12 a month on transcription, more than my ChatGPT subscription. It felt wrong.

Voice typing should be simple and affordable. You shouldn't need a subscription just to talk instead of type.

So I built something for myself. Modern Macs are powerful enough to handle transcription on their own, with no cloud needed. Your audio transcribes locally, privately, in less than half a second.

The result is Speakmac: fast transcription, complete privacy, no limits.

As Macs get more powerful, there's no reason to compromise anymore. You get the quality and speed of cloud services, but your words never leave your computer. That's better peace of mind.
