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.
Was very easy to use and had flawless dictation even with my accented voice. Will definitely use it more!
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.
Simple, honest pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Is my voice data private?
Yes — completely. Speakmac processes everything locally on your Mac. Your audio never touches external servers, there's no cloud relay, no accounts, and no data collection. This makes it suitable for healthcare, legal, and other confidential work. No third-party access to your transcripts, ever.
Is this a subscription?
No. Pay $19 once. The app is yours forever. Optional: pay for updates after year one — but you can always keep using what you have.
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.
Do I need any API key?
No accounts or logins required. One-time setup, then it works forever.

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.
hey! I'm JD
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.
Your Mac is ready to listen.
