Dictura is a professional voice-to-text application for macOS. We believe the gap between thinking and writing should be zero — so we built a tool that lets you speak at the speed of thought, and get clean, formatted, translated text wherever your cursor is.

We type thousands of words every day — emails, messages, code reviews, documents, notes. The average person types at 40 words per minute, but speaks at over 150. That's a 3.7× gap between how fast we think and how fast we can get those thoughts down.
Existing dictation tools are clunky, inaccurate, and require you to manually paste text where you need it. They don't clean up your speech, they don't format it, and they certainly don't translate it.
Dictura eliminates the friction between voice and text. You hold a key, speak naturally, and release. Your words appear — cleaned of filler words, properly punctuated, and formatted — exactly where your cursor is. No app switching. No clipboard. No extra steps.
Need it in another language? Dictura translates your speech in real time using AI, supporting 60+ languages. You can also type to translate when you can't speak — same result, different input. See how teams use Dictura.
We offer two transcription engines. On-device mode uses WhisperKit and runs entirely on your Mac — no internet required, no data leaves your computer. Cloud mode uses OpenAI's latest transcription models for maximum accuracy across 99+ languages, with AI translation built in.
In both modes, we never store your audio, transcriptions, or translations. Your content is processed and immediately discarded. Privacy isn't a feature — it's the foundation.
Your voice recordings, transcriptions, and translations are never stored — not by us, not by anyone. On-device mode means your audio never leaves your Mac.
Hold a key, speak, release. Your text appears where your cursor is — cleaned, formatted, and optionally translated. No app switching, no copy-paste, no friction.
No onboarding, no tutorials, no learning curve. Install, press Fn, and talk. It works in every text field on macOS — from Slack to your IDE to a Google Doc.
Most dictation tools treat translation as an afterthought. We built it into the core. Speak in your language, get output in another — or type when you can't speak.
Dictura is a native macOS application, built to integrate deeply with the operating system. It works in every text field — from Safari to Slack to Xcode — using macOS accessibility APIs. We chose to focus on one platform and do it exceptionally well.
