Hovor
Voice dictation that works offline, in your language
Hovor turns speech into clean, formatted text in any app on Mac and iPhone. Hold a hotkey, speak, and structured text lands where your cursor is. On-device models work fully offline, so your voice never leaves your hardware. It handles multilingual speech, fixes punctuation and structure, and supports a personal dictionary, snippets and workflows. Bring your own API key or use the built-in cloud. Free tier included, plus lifetime unlocks instead of forced subscriptions.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Kyrylo, a solo developer from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I built Hovor because dictation in my native language was either bad or missing. If you speak English, you have plenty of great options. If you think in Ukrainian, Polish or German and switch to English mid-sentence, you mostly get autocorrect soup. I wanted a tool that handles that reality.
How it works: hold a hotkey (Mac) or tap the mic in the keyboard (iPhone), speak, and clean formatted text lands in whatever app you are in. An LLM pass fixes punctuation and structure, so "umm so basically the meeting moved to three" becomes a normal sentence.
The part I'm most proud of: it can run fully on device. Whisper and Parakeet models work offline, so it works on a plane and your voice never leaves your hardware. Shipping this on iOS was the hardest engineering of my life: iOS 27 refuses Neural Engine inference from a backgrounded process, and the keyboard extension cannot run models at all, so the host app does the work and talks to the keyboard through App Group notifications. Happy to go deep in the comments if anyone is curious.
Pricing is meant to be honest. Free tier: 2,000 words a week, no card. Pro: $11.99/month. If you hate subscriptions, there are one-time lifetime unlocks: offline models for $49.99, bring-your-own-key for $24.99, both together for $69.99.
For the PH community: the first 50 people get 30 days of Pro free. You can find promo on product page.
I'll be here all day. Ask me anything, including the hard questions about why not just use built-in dictation.
