Viska – Dictation
On-device voice dictation
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Hold a key, speak, and your words appear right where your cursor is — in any app, transcribed 100% on your Mac. Best-in-class Swedish. Pay once, yours forever.
Say it. It's written.
Viska is dictation for your Mac. Hold a key, speak, let go — and your words appear right where your cursor is. In your email, your editor, your chat, your code. Anywhere you can type, you can talk.
Talking is about three times faster than typing. Viska removes the friction between thought and text, everywhere on your Mac — without sending a single word to the cloud.
ACTUALLY PRIVATE
Transcription runs on the Apple Neural Engine, on your machine. No audio ever leaves your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no cloud, no telemetry. The microphone is only ever on while you're holding the key.
BEST-IN-CLASS SWEDISH
Viska is built on KB-Whisper, the state-of-the-art Swedish speech model — plus English and more, with language-aware model choices. It knows where you live.
THREE STEPS. THAT'S THE WHOLE APP.
1. Hold Right Option.
2. Speak, naturally.
3. Release — the text is transcribed on-device and pasted at your cursor.
Prefer to tap on and off instead of holding? Viska has hold, toggle, and hybrid modes.
MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
• Works offline once your voice model is downloaded.
• Vocabulary & replacements — teach it names and terms it keeps mishearing.
• Spoken commands — say "new line", "comma", "period" (optional).
• On-device cleanup — optionally tidy punctuation and filler, locally.
• History & undo — re-paste a recent dictation; undo the last paste.
• A quiet menu-bar app — no Dock clutter, no main window.
PAY ONCE, OWN IT
No subscription required. Buy Viska once and it's yours — or choose the monthly plan with a 30-day free trial. Your call. A rarity in a category that went all-in on monthly fees.
REQUIREMENTS
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). A one-time voice-model download on first run; everything runs on-device after that.
Viska is made by Ideäng Productions, in Sweden.
