Description

Secretary42 is a desktop dictation tool aimed at professionals, writers, developers, and anyone seeking to convert spoken words into text while utilizing their preferred Mac or Windows applications. It features a customizable global hotkey to easily initiate and halt dictation; the integrated whisper.cpp engine performs local transcription with downloadable Whisper models and delivers the output to the active cursor, clipboard, or a designated file. Users can select models that strike a balance between transcription speed and accuracy and have the option to review, copy, or erase their locally saved transcription history. The application is particularly useful for composing emails, creating documents, jotting down notes, responding to support inquiries, logging issue reports, and drafting documentation. Dictation executes entirely on the device without reliance on cloud services, with internet connectivity only needed for checkout, license management, downloading models and the app, accessing support, and optional diagnostics. Secretary42 is compatible with macOS on Apple Silicon as well as Windows x64, making it versatile for a wide range of users. Additionally, its focus on local processing enhances data privacy and security for users concerned about cloud storage.

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.
