Hold fn and just talk.
Clean text lands at your cursor in any app, with the ums gone and names spelled the way your screen spells them. It all runs on your Mac.
Anywhere
Anywhere there's a cursor
Notes, Mail, Messages, Notion, the browser. A soft glowing pill at the bottom of the screen says it's listening; it never takes focus, so you stay right where you were.

Clean
Ums and take-backs, gone
Say “Thursday, no wait, Friday” and it writes Friday. Fillers and stutters come out, spoken punctuation and lists are written out, and spacing and capitals fit the text before your cursor.
Context
Names spelled the way your screen spells them
The moment you press fn, Saiki reads the window you're in: its title, the field, the text around your cursor. “Neve burn” comes out Niamh Byrne because she's right there in the chat.
Your words
Want exactly what you said?
The clean-up got too clever? Press ⌥⌘Z within eight seconds and your exact words take its place. Or set the style to Raw and it never changes a thing.
- ⌥⌘ZSwap in your exact words
Terminal
Talk to your coding agents safely
In a terminal it's always one line and it never presses Enter, so what you say is a prompt you can read, never a command that runs. Made for Claude Code and Codex.
Stays put
It only types where you started
Switch apps while you talk and nothing lands in the wrong window: the text is copied instead, and the pill tells you. Your own clipboard comes back after any paste. Password fields are never read.
- ⌘VPaste it where you meant
Settings
Your models, your words
Parakeet (a one-time 220 MB download) and Apple Intelligence by default; download Qwen models for more accuracy, all running on your Mac. Teach it your names and terms, and give it instructions it follows every time. Clean-up needs macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence on, or macOS 27 for Qwen3 4B; before that, you get your words as you said them.
- ↵Download and use a model
- ⌘⌫Delete a word, or a downloaded model
Everything in dictation
Free, local and in every app, with the safety rules built in.
Hold fn anywhere
Any app with a text field; Esc cancels, up to five minutes.
Clean, Polish or Raw
Fillers and take-backs out, or tighter wording, or your words as said.
Reads the window
Names and terms on screen come out spelled right.
Your dictionary
Hints and exact replacements for the words you use.
Instructions
Your own rules, added to every clean-up.
⌥⌘Z for your words
Within eight seconds, the raw words replace the cleaned ones.
Terminal-safe
One line, never Enter, never runs anything.
Private by design
Audio and text never leave your Mac; password fields are never read.
Models on your Mac
Parakeet, Qwen3-ASR, Apple Intelligence or Qwen3 4B; loaded when used, released a minute after.
Hold fn. Talk.
Free for macOS 15 and later. Everything stays on your Mac.
