Voice-to-text for macOS with a fully on-device option
Dictate in the language you're already typing in — VTT detects your keyboard layout and routes to the right engine across 26 languages. Speak; text appears at your cursor in any Mac app. On-device or cloud engines, your call. No account.
Hey PH! I made VTT because I live in two languages, and dictation apps quietly assume you don't.
Especially when they starting to translate FOR YOU! But I HAVE NOT ASKED!
Most tools give you one engine for everything. On-device recognition is great for English but weaker for smaller languages — so you either accept bad transcripts, or ship all your audio to a cloud server, including the parts that never needed to leave your Mac.
VTT lets you decide per language: keep English on-device, route your second language to Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs with your own API key. 26 languages, and it follows your keyboard language automatically.
It's free, no account, built solo — so honest feedback shapes the roadmap directly. Which language pairs do you dictate in, and which engine handles your non-English language best?
