WriteFast: Voice to Text
Private dictation, hands-free
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Speak, and your words appear — instantly, right where your cursor is, in any app on your Mac. WriteFast turns your voice into text with a single keypress, and every word is transcribed entirely on your device. Your audio is never uploaded and your transcripts are never stored in the cloud.
Press your hotkey, say what you want written, and it's typed for you — in Mail, Slack, Notes, your code editor, a browser, anywhere you can type. No copy-paste, no separate window, no friction.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
WriteFast runs the Whisper speech model locally on your Mac. Your microphone audio — and the text it becomes — never leave your machine, even with Wi-Fi turned off.
• 100% on-device transcription
• No audio and no text is ever uploaded — not for transcription, not for "model improvement"
• Works fully offline once your speech model is downloaded
• Transcripts are stored locally and stay in your control — delete them anytime
• No account, no sign-in, no analytics
The only time WriteFast uses the internet is to download your chosen speech model the first time you select it, and to process purchases through the App Store.
WORKS IN EVERY APP
Your words land at the cursor wherever you are — email, chat, documents, code, search bars. If you can type there, you can talk there.
ONE KEY TO TALK
Press your shortcut, speak, press again. Set your own hotkey, pick your microphone, and toggle the on-screen indicator to taste.
25+ LANGUAGES
Dictate in English, Turkish, German, Japanese, Spanish and many more — or let WriteFast auto-detect what you're speaking.
CHOOSE YOUR MODEL
Pick the Whisper model that fits your Mac: lighter models for instant speed, larger ones for maximum accuracy.
HISTORY & PLAYBACK
Every transcript is saved locally. Search it, replay the original audio, and re-transcribe anytime.
SEE THE TIME YOU GET BACK
Speaking runs at about 140 words per minute; typing crawls at 60. WriteFast does the math and shows the hours dictation hands back to you — plus the keystrokes your hands didn't have to make.
WHY WRITEFAST
• Faster than typing — talk at the speed of thought
• Kinder to your hands — fewer keystrokes, less strain
• Private by default — your voice stays on your Mac
• Out of the way — no windows, just your words at the cursor
FREE AND PREMIUM
Dictation is free and unlimited — there is no trial clock and no word quota. On the free plan each dictation is typed with one short line crediting WriteFast above your text, and importing existing audio or video files is reserved for Premium. Upgrade with a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase to remove the credit line, unlock file import, and keep every feature forever.
