## Key features

- **Dictation in any app:** Speak and have the text typed into whatever app is in front of you, such as Slack, Gmail, Notion or a code editor. More than 100 languages and dialects are supported.
- **Local models that work offline:** Whisper models run entirely on your device and are free to use without limits, so dictation works with no connection and audio is not uploaded.
- **Cloud voice models on Pro:** Pro adds hosted voice models such as S1-Voice, Nova and Scribe, along with real-time transcription. With these models audio is sent to hosted servers.
- **Modes:** A mode sets how speech is processed, from plain transcription to AI modes that rewrite it for a context such as email. Free allows 2 modes without AI; Pro is unlimited.
- **Meetings and file transcription:** Records meetings and produces notes, and Pro adds system audio recording, speaker separation and transcription of audio or video files.
- **Custom vocabulary:** Add names and terms the models tend to get wrong, plus text replacements. Both are included on the Free plan.

## Good for

- People who want dictation that runs on-device and offline
- Buyers who prefer a one-time license to a subscription
- Users who want to choose their own voice and language models

## Worth knowing

- AI-powered modes, cloud voice models, file transcription and speaker separation all need Pro.
- The Free plan is limited to 2 modes, and those run without AI processing.
- Cloud voice models send audio to hosted servers; only the local models keep audio on the device.
- A Linux version is listed as coming soon and is not yet available.
