Press and hold fn to try it

Shepetal is dictation that runs fully on your Mac. You hold fn, say what you want to write and let go, and the text lands where your cursor is.

While it runs, a tiny 🤫 sits in the bottom-left corner of your screen, like the one on this page, and turns red while you talk.

Free for 30 days, no credit card.

Private

Shepetal uses on-device speech recognition, so your voice and your text stay on your Mac. Nothing leaves your computer, and it works the same on a plane with the Wi-Fi off.

Fast

The text is in place a moment after you let go of fn, because your Mac does all the work right there on its own chip.

Every app

Shepetal pastes the text wherever your cursor is: your mail, a chat, your code editor or a text field in the browser. It fits the words into the sentence around your cursor and puts your clipboard back right after.

Meetings next

We are working on meetings. Shepetal will listen along to a call on your Mac and give you the transcript, and it stays on your computer like everything else.
