Hold a key. Speak.
Your words appear.
Private, on-device dictation for Mac — no account, no subscription, no cloud dashboard to configure.
This is a demo — the real app types directly into whatever you're using.
How it works
Push-to-talk, anywhere
Hold ⌥ Space (or fn Space) in any app, speak, and release. Text lands right at your cursor, or copies to your clipboard.
Two engines, your choice
Apple's built-in speech recognition works out of the box. Switch to the optional Parakeet model for transcription that runs fully offline.
Searchable history
Every dictation is kept in a local, searchable history — never uploaded anywhere.
Your own dictionary
Teach Sotto names, acronyms, and words it tends to mishear, in a dictionary you can edit any time.
Private by design
Speech is transcribed on your Mac. No account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no server of Sotto's own.
Pricing
No subscription. No in-app purchases. Yours to keep.
