Scribe: local push-to-talk dictation for macOS

Scribe, formerly WhisperGo, is a fast, private dictation app. Hold a key, speak, and release. The text appears in whatever app you are typing in, about a quarter of a second later. Speech recognition runs entirely on your own machine. There is no cloud, no account, and no audio upload.

Features

• On-device speech recognition, offline dictation with no cloud
• Push-to-talk: hold a key, speak, release
• Noise suppression for cafes, trains, and open offices
• Spoken punctuation: full stop, comma, question mark, new line
• Voice commands: scratch that, and hands-free on "start" and "stop"
• Learns your vocabulary and casing over time
• Optional local AI cleanup through Ollama
• Dictation history and stats kept only on your machine

A private, no-subscription Wispr Flow alternative

Unlike cloud dictation tools, Scribe never sends your voice anywhere. Try free for 14 days, then pay 29 dollars once and own it forever. No monthly fee. Works on macOS 13 and later on Apple silicon. A Windows build is coming soon.
