The AI dictation app for Mac. Hold a hotkey, speak, and perfectly formatted text appears wherever your cursor is — 100% on your device.
Requires macOS 26+ and Apple Silicon (M1 or later)
Traditional dictation software needs the internet and sends your audio to external servers. Cloud services like Otter or the Whisper API upload everything. WalkAITalkie does it all locally by default — faster, private, and with AI cleanup.
Hold your hotkey, speak, release. Text appears instantly wherever your cursor is. Works in every app — email, Slack, docs, code editors.
An on-device LLM fixes grammar, punctuation, and formatting automatically. Your transcriptions read like you typed them — no editing needed.
Record a meeting and get on-device meeting transcription plus a structured summary and a ready-to-send follow-up email draft — capture, transcription, and summarization never leave your Mac.
Speak in your language, get text in any of 38 target languages. The on-device LLM translates your transcription on the fly — all locally.
All processing happens on your Mac. No audio, text, or data ever leaves your device — unless you explicitly choose cloud APIs. You're always in control.
