Privacy-focused macOS app for instant on-device dictation and AI-powered text processing.

What it does

Spoke is a native macOS dictation application that provides instant voice-to-text transcription directly into any text field. It runs a high-performance local speech recognition model via CoreML, ensuring that audio never leaves the device for maximum privacy. Users can hold a customizable keyboard shortcut to speak and see their words appear instantly at the cursor. The app also features 'AI Skills,' allowing users to process transcriptions on the fly for tasks like translation, grammar correction, or summarization using their own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models via Ollama.
