Private dictation for Mac

Speak. Your text is already clean. And it never left your Mac.

Text is inserted into compatible text fields. If insertion is unavailable, paste it from the clipboard.

Join the waiting listSee pricing

Mac with Apple silicon, macOS 13 or later. No account, no card. $99 once.

In short

  • Native Mac app
  • 8 dictation languages
  • No subscription
  • Nothing leaves your Mac while you dictate

The problem

Typing is slow. Cloud dictation sends your words to someone else's servers.

  • You think faster than you type.Emails, reports, notes: your ideas wait for your fingers.
  • Cloud dictation listens elsewhere.Most dictation apps send your voice to their servers to transcribe it.
  • Confidential work can't take that risk.Client files, patient notes and unpublished drafts should not leave your computer.

How it works

Three gestures. No window to open.

  1. Hold a key

    Right ⌥ by default. You can choose another shortcut in Preferences.

  2. Speak naturally

    Cleanup aims to preserve your meaning. Review the result before sending.

  3. Let go

    Text is inserted into compatible text fields. If insertion is unavailable, paste it from the clipboard.

Ready to send

What you say. What gets written.

You say

AURIS writes

Thanks for your notes. I'll send the revised contract before Friday, with the two changes we discussed.

  • Punctuation and capital letters added
  • Filler-word removal in English, French and Italian
  • Cleanup aims to preserve your meaning. Review the result before sending.
  • Names from your glossary spelled your way

Illustrative example, not a recording of an app test. Real demonstrations will identify the version tested.

Everywhere you write

Wherever your cursor is.

People who write a lot

Write as fast as you think

Emails, documents, messages, prompts: everywhere, without a subscription.

For writers

What you get

Built for people who write all day.

  • Your words

    Add names, clients and jargon to your glossary, with the ways they tend to be misheard. AURIS writes them your way.

  • Eight languages

    Eight dictation languages are configured: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Polish. Results vary with language, model and recording conditions. Review the text before using it. Filler-word removal is available in English, French and Italian.

  • Hands-free mode

    Press a shortcut to start, speak, press it again to stop. Up to 10 minutes per dictation.

  • Recovering saved audio

    After capture stops, a saved recording may be recovered following an incident. Recovery is not guaranteed if recording is interrupted before it is saved.

  • Works with Wi-Fi off

    On a plane or a train, dictation works the same. On some Macs and languages, a local model downloads once first.

  • No subscription

    One payment. Your version keeps working, for good.

Verifiable privacy

Don't trust us. Check.

Voice and text are processed on your Mac during dictation. Four network uses are permitted: licence activation, speech-model download, cleanup-model download, and update checks. Updates can be checked manually, when General settings opens, or automatically if you enable the option. None sends dictation audio or text.

Questions

Before you try

Does it really stay on my Mac?
Voice and text are processed on your Mac during dictation. Four network uses are permitted: licence activation, speech-model download, cleanup-model download, and update checks. Updates can be checked manually, when General settings opens, or automatically if you enable the option. None sends dictation audio or text.
Which languages can I dictate in?
Eight dictation languages are configured: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Polish. Results vary with language, model and recording conditions. Review the text before using it. Filler-word removal is available in English, French and Italian.
What about Windows and iPhone?

Not yet, and we give no date. AURIS is for Mac today. Join the waiting list from the download page: we will write to you once, when it is ready.

What happens after the trial?

You decide. To keep dictating, buy a license. Nothing is charged automatically: we never ask for your card during the trial.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, with no questions asked. More answers in our help center.

Which currency will I pay in?

In euros in countries and territories that use the euro: €99, taxes included. Everywhere else, in US dollars: $99. The checkout shows the exact final amount before you pay.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once. Nothing renews and nothing is charged later. New major versions are optional.

Why is it so affordable?

Your dictation runs on your Mac, not on our servers. With no servers to run for you every month, there is nothing to bill you for every month.

Can I get an invoice for my business?

Yes. Paddle, our authorized reseller, issues the invoice. Enter your company name and VAT number at checkout.

I'm changing Macs. What do I do?

Your license covers up to 3 devices. On the old Mac, deactivate it in Preferences › License, then activate it on the new one. Details in the help center.

I lost my license key.

Your key is sent by email when you buy. If you can't find it, write to us: we only ever send it to the address used for the purchase.

Your next email, dictated.
