Dittivo
Hold. Speak. Release.
Offline dictation for Mac. Your voice becomes text in any app — processed on your Mac, never uploaded.
How it works
Three moves, no window in the way
- 1
Hold
Option + Space, or Fn on compatible keyboards. Dittivo listens only while you hold it.
- 2
Speak
Talk the way you talk. A small indicator shows you are recording.
- 3
Release
Whisper transcribes on your Mac and the text appears at your cursor.
Features
Made for people who write all day
Any app
Mail, browsers, code editors, chats: Dittivo pastes the text into the active field.
Private by design
Audio stays in memory only while it is transcribed. It is never saved or sent anywhere.
Offline
After a one-time model download (about 550 MB), transcription works without Internet.
Notes on demand
A second shortcut turns your voice into a note saved on your Mac. Ordinary dictations are never stored.
Vocabularies
Add names, products and technical terms to help recognition.
Many languages
Detects the language automatically: English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and more.

FAQ
Does it need Internet?+
Only once, to download the speech recognition model. After that, Dittivo works completely offline.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?+
No. Audio is kept in memory only while it is transcribed on your Mac, then discarded. It never goes through a server.
Why does it ask for permissions?+
Microphone to hear you, Input Monitoring to recognize the shortcut in any app, and Accessibility to paste the text with ⌘V.
Which Macs are supported?+
Macs running macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Transcription is faster on Apple silicon.
