SayHere
Fast, reliable local dictation
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
SayHere is a local-first voice typing app. It aims to preserve the context, conditions, and details in what you say instead of rewriting your meaning.
The default shortcut is Control plus the grave accent key. Press once to start recording and again to stop, or click the floating button. When transcription is ready, SayHere copies the text to the system clipboard and prompts you to press Command-V. It does not search for text fields across apps, simulate key events, or paste automatically.
Voice stays on the device
• Dictation in Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and Spanish
• Apple on-device speech recognition
• No account, ads, or third-party analytics
• Long-form dictation with the complete recording kept for recovery
• Complete text remains visible in a recovery card if copying fails
• Dictation history and personal vocabulary stay on the device and can be deleted at any time
Requires macOS 26 or later. Only Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions are required. The shortcut can be changed in Settings.
Before your first dictation, choose one recognition language and wait for its on-device speech models to finish downloading and verification. Initial downloads require an internet connection. Each recording uses the selected language; language switching is not automatic. Release the shortcut keys before speaking. Do not hold them down or add Shift.
