About Spokenly

Spokenly lets you dictate text into any app on Mac, Windows, Linux and iPhone. It can run free local Whisper models on the device, and a local-only mode blocks every network request so audio never leaves the machine. Modern cloud models are also available.

It supports more than 100 languages and can detect when you switch language mid-sentence. AI instructions clean up raw speech into tidy text, and it ships an MCP server so coding agents such as Claude and Cursor can call it. It suits developers and writers who want private, fast dictation.

Strengths

  • Offline dictation with local Whisper models
  • Local-only mode that blocks network requests
  • Works in any app across four platforms
  • MCP server for coding agents

Limitations

  • No Android version
  • Cloud models send audio off the device
