[OS] SpeakoFlow: dictation, a voice assistant and meeting notes in one Mac app - Free

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of SpeakoFlow. It's a free, open-source app that lets you talk to your Mac instead of typing, and 2.0 is out now. Posting note: posting through the Trust Path (open-source project with 100+ GitHub stars). **Problem** Typing everything is slow, and built-in dictation writes down every word exactly as you said it, filler words and changes of mind included. SpeakoFlow writes what you meant, and it can also work with your text and your meetings. **What it does** * **Dictation in any app**, with optional cleanup of filler words and spoken corrections. * **Ask about selected text.** Translate it, reply to it, or explain it. * **Talk to it.** A spoken conversation you can interrupt. * **Meeting notes (beta).** No bot joins the call. Recording the other side needs BlackHole. * **Local by default.** Speech, cleanup, the assistant and its voice all run on your Mac. Apple Intelligence or your own API key also work. **Comparison** Wispr Flow is the closest app. It's closed source, runs in the cloud, and the free plan stops at 2,000 words a week on desktop ($12-15/month after that). SpeakoFlow has no word limit, runs on your Mac by default, and also talks back and takes meeting notes. **Pricing** Free. No paid plan, no word limit, no account. MIT licensed. * Website: https://www.speakoflow.com * GitHub: https://github.com/AbhishekBarali/SpeakoFlow * Privacy policy: https://www.speakoflow.com/docs/reference/privacy **Not notarized yet** It's planned. Until then macOS will say the app "is damaged". It isn't. Drag it into Applications, then run this once: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SpeakoFlow.app Builds for Apple silicon and Intel (Intel needs macOS 14 or later). If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think.

    Dear MoodOdd9657, Your [post](/r/macapps/comments/1x3ql7n/os_speakoflow_dictation_a_voice_assistant_and/) on r/macapps was removed by the Read The Rules app because you need to submit an acknowledgement that you have read the rules. **Please:** * **Take a moment** to refresh yourself with the community rules. To address huge volumes of spam, we have made changes recently with strict post conditions and formatting requirements. * **Submit your acknowledgement** by clicking the 'Read The Rules' option in the main menu of the subreddit or the menu of any comment/post in the sub. Tutorial post, if needed.. Once you are done, you can try submitting your post again, but note that failure to actually read the rules leaves the odds of post removal at 80–90%. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, u/read-the-rules ^(This is a bot message and replies will not be monitored)
