Common questions

How do I enable voice dictation on my Mac?

macOS has built-in dictation (System Settings → Keyboard → Dictation), but it's basic and often requires internet. Whisper Talk is a dedicated voice dictation app that works offline, in every app, with near-human accuracy. Just install, grant Accessibility access, and press ⌘⇧Space to start dictating.

What's the best voice dictation app for Mac?

Whisper Talk offers the best combination of accuracy, privacy, and value for Mac voice dictation. It uses OpenAI's Whisper AI locally, works in every app, and costs $19 once — compared to Wispr Flow's $180/year or Apple's limited built-in dictation.

Can I dictate into Slack, email, and Google Docs?

Yes. Whisper Talk uses macOS accessibility APIs to paste text directly into whichever app is active. If the app has a text field, Whisper Talk can dictate into it.

Does voice dictation work without internet on Mac?

Yes — Whisper Talk runs 100% offline after the initial model download. Your voice is processed entirely on your Mac using the Whisper AI model.

How accurate is voice dictation with Whisper Talk?

The base Whisper model handles most use cases well. The medium model (1.5GB) approaches human-level accuracy for English. With AI correction enabled, grammar and punctuation are cleaned up automatically.
