Speak in your language,
text appears in theirs.
Dictare gives you cloud-grade dictation and live translation on whatever computer you already own. Hold a hotkey, speak, release — polished text lands right at your cursor, in your language or someone else's. macOS and Windows.
Free to try when we ship — no card to start.
How it works
- Hold ⌘⇧Space on Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows.
- Speak naturally, in any of ~99 languages.
- Release. Dictare transcribes, optionally translates, polishes the grammar, and pastes the result straight into whatever app you're in.
No reaching for a browser tab, no cleaning up afterwards. The words you meant, where you need them.
The accuracy of a $5,000 Mac Studio — on any machine
Most dictation apps run the heavy AI models on your computer, so their accuracy quietly depends on owning recent, high-end hardware. Dictare runs the full models in the cloud, so the quality doesn't change with your laptop.
- No capable Mac required. The same results on a budget laptop, an old machine, or Windows.
- No multi-gigabyte downloads. Install and start talking in seconds.
- Always the latest model. Improvements arrive server-side — nothing to re-download.
- No battery drain, no fan spin. The heavy lifting happens off your device.
- Consistent speed, whether you're on a flagship or a five-year-old machine.
Cloud-powered, so Dictare needs an internet connection.
Private & secure
Your voice and your text are never used to train AI, and never stored. Dictation goes through trusted providers under contracts that prohibit training on your data — your words are processed to give you your text, and then they're gone.
