SpeechFast launches private Mac dictation

SpeechFast’s strongest differentiator is not transcription alone—it makes private voice input feel like a universal keyboard shortcut. Its Mac-only, Apple Silicon focus limits reach, but gives the product a focused privacy and latency story.

• –Hold fn to dictate into Mail, Slack, Notion, code editors, and other text fields.
• –Local processing, no stored audio, local history, and offline operation suit sensitive developer workflows.
• –Parakeet, Cohere Transcribe, and Apple engines offer speed, accuracy, and language flexibility.
• –Apple Intelligence cleanup removes filler words, repeats, and false starts while keeping processing on-device.
• –The one-time €39.99 price for three Macs is a compelling alternative to subscription-based dictation tools.
