Dictro - Private on-device AI dictation app
Dictro is a private, on-device voice dictation application designed for macOS and Windows that transforms spoken words into polished text within any application. Operating entirely locally without cloud uploads, the software captures audio, removes filler words, fixes structural errors, and inserts clean prose directly at the cursor when triggered via a designated hotkey. By running speech and language models locally on the machine, it functions completely offline, ensuring that personal notes, messages, and code remain entirely confidential on the user's hardware.
Key Features
- 100% On-Device Processing: Runs all speech recognition and language models locally on your hardware with zero cloud uploads or external transcript transmission.
- System-Wide Integration: Functions in any application featuring an active text field, including text editors, code environments, messaging clients, and browsers.
- Intelligent Prose Cleanup: Automatically strips out verbal filler, false starts, and hesitations while inserting appropriate punctuation for ready-to-send writing.
- Hotkey Activation: Listens while holding a designated key combination to integrate speech into standard typing workflows seamlessly.
- Local Transcript History: Keeps optional past dictations stored exclusively as local notes on your machine, with history disabled by default for privacy.
- Custom Vocabulary Support: Allows users to define custom words, proper nouns, and specialized technical jargon to ensure accurate transcription.
Built for developers, writers, and power users who handle sensitive data or prefer hands-free text input, Dictro offers high-speed speech-to-text conversion running up to 150 words per minute. It is compatible with Apple Silicon Macs running modern macOS versions as well as 64-bit Windows systems. Dictro is available on a free plan providing a weekly word quota, alongside expanded access tiers for heavier usage.
