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 to pay a monthly subscription just to talk instead of type.
So I built something for myself. Modern Macs are powerful enough to handle transcription on their own-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.
