BetterWispr is a free, open-source, local-first voice dictation app for macOS 14 and later. Hold a keyboard shortcut, speak, and it transcribes your speech using on-device models from Apple Speech, Whisper, or Parakeet, then types clean text directly into any app. No account or internet connection is required, as all models download once and run fully offline. It also supports app-specific writing styles, spoken punctuation commands, editable vocabulary, local transcript history, and on-device meeting notes and summaries via Apple Intelligence or Ollama.
