Dictation

Talk into any Mac app and get finished text

Press the shortcut in Mail, Slack, Notion, Cursor or a form field on a website. Penwright transcribes what you said, cleans it up, and types it where your cursor is.

macOS 13+, Apple Silicon
Dictation in Penwright for Mac

Works in every app

Text is inserted through the accessibility API, with a clipboard paste as fallback. Apps we have never tested still work.

Toggle or push to talk

Tap the shortcut to start and stop, or hold it while you speak. Both are one hand, no window switching.

Nothing is uploaded

Transcription runs on-device with Metal acceleration. There is no server that receives your audio, because there is no audio endpoint at all.

Nothing leaves your Mac

Transcription and cleanup run on your machine. The Penwright API only handles your account, subscription and licence. There is no endpoint that accepts text or audio.
