PRIVATE DICTATION FOR MAC

When typing asks too much,
just talk.

Take Dictation turns what you say into clean writing, right where you are already typing. Fast enough to stay with your thought. Quiet enough to stay out of your way.

See how it works Your words stay yours

Built for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later.

A SMALL, HUMAN MOMENTListening

YOUR WORDS, CLEANED UP

Hold a key. Speak naturally. Let go. Keep going with your day.

YOUR THOUGHTS SHOULD NOT WAIT FOR YOUR HANDS

Say the thing while it is still alive.

The point is not to turn you into a power user. It is to make an email, a note, a message, or a page feel possible when a keyboard is not the easiest way in.

SPEED, WITHOUT THE HYPE

The pause after you finish talking should feel small.

~0.2s

Current internal median from key release to text insertion for a natural 30–40 word breath. Measured on-device, not a cross-product speed comparison.

ONE SIMPLE RHYTHM

From thought to text, in three quiet moves.

ONE
Hold the talk key.
Use the key that feels most natural. Take Dictation lets you choose, then remembers.
TWO
Speak like yourself.
Pause. Correct yourself. Finish a thought. Tidy handles the everyday cleanup.
THREE
Pick up where you left off.
Your clean text appears at the cursor, so you can keep writing without changing your routine.

A PRIVATE PLACE TO THINK OUT LOUD

No account between you and your words.

Take Dictation is built around an uncomplicated promise: the general-release app does its dictation work on your Mac. Your audio and transcript do not need to take a trip somewhere else to become useful.

Read the plain-English privacy promise

LESS TO LEARN. MORE TO SAY.

The technology should feel like a courtesy.

Private by design

Your words stay with you.

In the general-release app, your dictation audio and transcript are processed on your Mac. No account. No cloud model. No one listening in.

Made for real life

No menu of a hundred choices.

Take Dictation starts with good defaults and clear words. The setup guides you through one permission at a time, then gets out of your way.

A careful finish

It cleans up, without taking over.

Tidy fixes punctuation and formatting while keeping your meaning. If an optional rewrite cannot be trusted, your safe Tidy text stays put.

A GOOD FIT, AT A GLANCE

Apple silicon Mac

macOS 26 or later

Apple Intelligence is optional for Rewrite. Tidy still works without it.
