The live pipeline
Speak messy.
Write beautifully.
Dictro is designed around the way ideas actually arrive: fast, imperfect, and rarely in neat paragraphs. Watch the local pipeline turn a real first take into ready-to-send writing.
Dictro listens while you hold Option Space, transcribes and cleans the completed recording on your Mac, then pastes “Could you send Priya the Q3 numbers by end of day? Thanks.” at the cursor.
Zero-friction workflow
One gesture.
Three quiet steps.
No recording dashboard. No transcript inbox. Dictro stays out of the way until the moment your keyboard starts slowing you down.

Processed locally
Get clean prose
The local pipeline removes filler, fixes structure, and places the finished sentence at your cursor.
The human advantage
Your voice already knows
the faster way.
Same thought. Two input methods. Watch the difference compound.
The same ten-word sentence takes about 15 seconds to type at 40 words per minute and 4 seconds to speak at 150 words per minute.

Finished
At 150 words per minute, Dictro completes the same sentence in about 4 seconds: Push the launch to Friday — marketing needs two more days.
≈11 seconds saved per 10 words.
At the 5.3-second checkpoint, voice is already done; typing still has most of the sentence left.
Privacy, by architecture
The cloud never
hears a word.
Audio capture, transcription, and refinement happen on Apple Silicon. Privacy is not a promise in the terms. It is a physical boundary in the product.
No audio uploads
The models live on your Mac and continue working in airplane mode.
No shadow copies
Words go to the field you chose. Transcript history is opt-in and lives only on your Mac.
No training on you
We cannot train on data we never receive. Your voice remains yours.
Made for the Mac
Powerful underneath.
Almost invisible above.
A native tool should feel like part of the system: fast to call, predictable in every app, and quiet when you do not need it.
⌘
Truly system-wide
Mail, Slack, Xcode, Notion, the browser — if your Mac accepts typing, Dictro works there.
ANE
Built for Apple Silicon
Speech recognition uses the Neural Engine while language cleanup runs locally on the GPU.
OFF
Offline means offline
Dictate on a plane, on a locked-down network, or with Wi-Fi switched off.
Aa
Your voice, better edited
False starts disappear. Punctuation lands. The sentence reads like you had time to polish it.

Transcript history, like notes

A native control room
Present when needed.
