typing.
curl -fsSL https://dictar.app/install.sh | shCopyFour modes — dictate, listen, rewrite, expand — running entirely on your Mac.$15 once. No cloud. No subscription.
Four ways to use your voice.
Each mode is one hotkey away. All of them run on-device.
Your voice. Their text field.
Press a hotkey anywhere — email, Slack, your IDE — and speak. Words land in real time, processed entirely on your hardware.
- Real-time streaming via Parakeet or Whisper
- Auto-punctuation and paragraph breaks
- Works offline — plane, subway, anywhere
Highlight. Listen. Keep moving.
Select any text and press a hotkey. 51 local voices read it back — powered by Kokoro, entirely on-device. Proofreading, articles, eyes-free review.
- 51 natural voices, multiple accents
- Adjustable speed — 0.5x to 2x
- All audio generated on-device
Say what to change. It changes.
Select text, speak an instruction — "shorten this," "make it formal," "translate to Spanish." Qwen3 rewrites it on-device. No API key. No upload.
- Voice-controlled — say what you want changed
- Qwen3 on Apple Silicon, entirely local
- Any app — email, docs, chat, code
Six keystrokes. One full paragraph.
Define triggers like /greet or /proposal. Type one, press Space — it expands instantly. Variables, fill-in prompts, AI-drafted text. All local.
- Instant expansion — no network needed
- Variables: {date}, {time}, {clipboard}, {fill}
- AI can draft the expansion for you
