Open-source, local-first dictation for macOS without a subscription.
Best for
Mac users who want Superwhisper-style dictation with local models and no subscription.
Why it deserves attention
VoiceInk runs speech models locally, keeps transcripts on the Mac, and provides global shortcuts, custom vocabulary, and different modes for different apps. The source is available, so the privacy claims can be checked. Setup is more technical than commercial dictation apps, and local transcription speed depends on the Mac's chip and the model you choose.
