What We Don't Do
Here's what sets us apart:
You're probably using the 1 dictation app right now. Let us guess: its huge (500MB+), always online (hello, data harvesting), and costs you every month (cha-ching).
No Bloat
Lightweight App
We don't bloat your Mac. Our core app is just 8MB.
Privacy
No Tracking
We don't track you. We can't—everything's offline.
Simplicity
No Auto-Renewals
We don't auto-renew subscriptions. It's a one-time purchase.
