Built around the Mac writing workflow
Why this intent matters
Same-language output
Use this when you want to think and write in the same language without switching to a browser voice-typing tool.
Local-first Mac workflow
Speakmac is positioned around private, on-device dictation rather than a cloud-only writing assistant.
Built for daily writing
The value is not a language list alone. It is a fast hotkey, cursor insertion, and fewer app-specific voice typing dead ends.
FAQ
Clear language boundaries
Does Speakmac translate speech into another language?
This page is about multilingual dictation, which means same-language output. Speech-to-text translation is a separate workflow and is covered on the translation beta page.
Which languages can Speakmac dictate today?
Speakmac currently positions its public Mac workflow around a multilingual pack for 25 European languages and a Chinese pack for Mandarin plus supported Chinese variants. Exact availability depends on app version and selected language pack.
Does multilingual dictation work outside one app?
Yes. Speakmac is built for system-wide Mac dictation, so the workflow is designed for text fields in apps such as Mail, Notes, browsers, docs, and AI tools. Individual app behavior can still vary.
