Rekody
You speak. Rekody types. Free on-device dictation for Mac
Free voice dictation for macOS. Hold Option + Space, speak, and text lands at your cursor in any app. On-device by default: no account, no subscription. A personal dictionary teaches it your words. The CLI is open source (MIT).
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Tony. I built Rekody because dictation on the Mac kept pushing me toward a subscription and someone else's servers, and neither felt necessary for something my computer can do by itself.
Rekody is free. You hold Option + Space, talk, and the words land at your cursor in whatever app you are in. Transcription runs on-device by default. No account, no subscription, and there is no Rekody server your audio could be sent to.
Two parts I care about most. The personal dictionary: you add your names, jargon, and product terms once, and Rekody biases the speech engines toward them, so your words come out spelled your way. And rekody review: a local page where you play back what you dictated, fix transcripts, and keep your own dataset clean, with an optional Whisper large-v3 second opinion. Great for fine-tuning the ASR model to understand your nuances like accents.
The CLI is open source under MIT. The Mac app is free, no strings. An iPhone keyboard is in TestFlight beta.
I would like feedback on accuracy with your vocabulary, and on what the dictionary gets wrong. I will be here all day.
