BetterDictation
On-device Mac dictation with a one-time license
BetterDictation runs Whisper on your Mac's Neural Engine so dictation stays on your device, adding punctuation as you speak. An optional Pro add-on removes stammers, formats lists and polishes grammar. Speaking instead of typing can also make writing easier for people who find typing slow, tiring or painful.
