Description

Aiko is an AI transcription app from Sindre Sorhus that helps users convert audio into text on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app is powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model and runs transcription locally on the user’s device. This on-device approach makes Aiko well suited for private meetings, lectures, interviews, voice notes, and sensitive recordings. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model, while iOS uses the medium or small model depending on available device memory. The app supports Shortcuts, giving users flexible ways to record, transcribe, copy results, create subtitles, save text, or connect transcripts to other workflows. Users can transcribe from Finder on macOS, record and transcribe from iPhone shortcuts, or build custom workflows that pass transcripts into apps like Notes or ChatGPT. Aiko includes a free 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access and no auto-charges. Older macOS versions are available for users on macOS 13, 14, and 15. By combining local Whisper transcription, Apple platform support, privacy, and Shortcuts automation, Aiko gives users a simple way to turn speech into text.

Description

VoiceInk is a macOS dictation application that utilizes local AI technology to convert spoken words into precise text almost instantaneously, ensuring user privacy throughout the process. It operates seamlessly across various applications, allowing individuals to dictate content for emails, messages, notes, documents, and even coding without disrupting their usual workflow. By keeping all audio processing on the Mac, users have the option to utilize cloud services only when they choose to connect. The app features global shortcuts that enable users to toggle recording, utilize push-to-talk functionality, retry, cancel, and paste without needing to navigate away from their current task. Additionally, a personalized dictionary helps VoiceInk learn unique names, specialized terminology, uncommon spellings, phrases, and Smart Replace shortcuts for frequently used texts. Its contextual awareness enhances transcription by utilizing selected text, clipboard data, or text visible on the screen, which significantly boosts the accuracy of its AI-driven output. Users can also save different transcription models and customize enhancement prompts, context settings, output behaviors, and shortcuts tailored for specific applications, websites, or tasks, adding to the app's versatility. This comprehensive functionality makes VoiceInk a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their dictation experience on macOS.
