Dictation for macOS
What you say stays on your Mac.
Tap a hotkey, talk, and your words land at your cursor, in any app. Wavelet runs the latest open source speech models on your own machine, inside a harness built to work fast and accurately everywhere you do.
For M series Macs. $29 one time, yours forever; the beta starts a 90-day trial.
The beat before the text lands is 450 ms, matching the measured median for short takes on the bench machine.
Why Wavelet
- PrivateThe models run on your Mac. Dictating locally means your audio never leaves it.
- No subscriptionBuy it once and it is yours. Nothing stops working when you stop paying.
- AccurateYour Mac spends real compute on bigger models than cost-tuned cloud dictation, and Wavelet measures the result on your voice.
- Works offlineOn the train, on a plane, in a dead zone: no internet, same dictation.
- The latest modelsEach new generation of open speech models, tested on real hardware and shipped when it wins. Your time is not the test bench.
- Better over timeIn progressA personal dictionary today; dictation that remembers you is what we are working tirelessly toward.
Measured on your voice, not on a benchmark
Read three short passages and Wavelet scores every installed model on how it hears you, not how it averages across everyone else. Accents move these numbers more than marketing admits; that is exactly why the measurement is yours.
The quarterly report shows revenue of three point two million, up eleven percent from last year.
The MRI and the EKG both came back clear, but the CBC flagged a slightly elevated white-cell count.
I rebased the feature branch onto main, but the CI pipeline is still failing on the auth middleware.
The passages are from Wavelet's real calibration set; illustration compressed from about three minutes of reading, and your numbers will differ. English first in this release. Several of the models can hear other languages, and we are not supporting that yet.
Next we are exploring dictation for healthcare providers, where accuracy and privacy are not optional. If that is your world, tell us what you need.
