Humble Voice: AI Dictation
Voice to text, no subscription
Only for Mac
$19.99
Mac
Don't type it — say it. Hold a shortcut, speak, and your words appear where your cursor is. Runs entirely on your Mac. One-time purchase, no subscription, no account.
```
Don't type it. Say it.
Hold Command-Shift-U, speak, and your words land right where your cursor already is — Mail, Notes, Messages, Safari, Chrome. No window to open. No app to switch to.
Everything happens on your Mac. The speech model runs on the Apple Neural Engine, so your voice never leaves your machine. There is no server to trust, because there isn't one.
BUY IT ONCE
One purchase. No subscription, no monthly fee, no renewal notice a year from now. No account to create, and nothing to sign in to. Dictation is a utility, not a service.
WORKS IN EVERY APP
Put your cursor where you want the words, hold the shortcut, and speak. In apps that accept dictation this way — Mail, Notes, Messages, Safari, Chrome and many more — the words go straight in.
In the few that don't, nothing is lost: hold Option-Z instead, and your words are transcribed and copied, ready to paste.
YOUR VOICE STAYS ON YOUR MAC
No audio is uploaded. No transcripts are stored. No analytics, no telemetry, no ambient listening. After the initial setup, it works with no internet connection at all — on a plane, on a train, anywhere.
The only thing that needs the network is downloading the speech model the first time you launch.
TEXT CLEANUP, BUILT IN
Three quiet passes run before the text reaches your cursor:
• Spoken punctuation — say "comma," "question mark," or "new paragraph" and get the real thing
• Filler removal — trims "um," "uh," and "you know" while leaving your actual words alone
• Spacing cleanup — collapses double spaces, fixes punctuation spacing, capitalizes the first word
On by default. Turn it off from the menu bar whenever you want raw output.
AI REFINE
Said something tangled? Select it and choose Refine with Humble Voice, and the cleaned-up version takes its place — fillers gone, punctuation tidied, sentences smoothed.
On Macs with Apple Intelligence, this runs on Apple's on-device model. Your text never leaves the machine there either.
It cleans up how you said it. It won't rewrite what you meant.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO TYPE ALL DAY
• Writers working through a first draft by talking it out
• Developers dictating commit messages and documentation without breaking flow
• Professionals who can't send client audio to someone else's cloud
• Anyone whose wrists have opinions about another eight-hour typing day
WHAT YOU NEED
• macOS 14.6 or later
• A Mac with Apple Silicon is fastest; Intel Macs work too
• One permission: the microphone. Nothing else is asked for
• Command-Shift-U by default; change it in System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Services
