QuietSpeech types
Hey Priya, I’ve finished the notes. Let’s catch up tomorrow.
One shortcut, wherever you write
Say it, and it’s written.
See your words appear in a live overlay as you speak. Release the shortcut to insert the finished text. You can also select text and speak an edit, or say “generate” to ask for a draft. Local AI editing and generation need Apple Intelligence.
On your Mac, by default
Apple’s recognizer transcribes locally. Apple Intelligence cleans up the text on your Mac when available. No API key needed for the default setup.
Words you can follow
The live overlay shows your transcript while you dictate, so you can follow what’s being recognized before you let go.
Two Macs, one payment
Your $29 license activates two Macs. Move an activation between Macs in the customer portal.

Live preview means seeing words while you dictate, before the finished text is inserted. This comparison covers Mac dictation, not meeting note-taking. Availability depends on the plan, model and device. QuietSpeech’s local AI cleanup needs Apple Intelligence; VoiceInk Refine needs a supported Mac and a model download.

Before you buy
A few useful details.
Will it work on my Mac?
You need an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later, plus Microphone and Accessibility permissions. Intel Macs and older macOS versions are not supported.
Does it work without Apple Intelligence?
Basic dictation still works, with rules-based cleanup. Turn on Apple Intelligence for local AI cleanup, spoken editing and generation.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Transcription and cleanup run on-device by default. If you choose OpenAI, Groq, Ollama or a custom provider, selected audio or text goes to that provider. The app has no telemetry. This website uses analytics; optional Google advertising measurement is described in our website privacy notice.
Can I use it offline?
Yes, by default. The license needs an internet check at least once every 14 days. Optional external providers need their own connection.
Is there a free trial?
There is no free trial. Watch the demonstration before you buy. If QuietSpeech isn’t right for you, you have 14 days to request a refund.
