Openbroca is a native Swift AI dictation app for Mac, with a ~6.5 MB download. Press a shortcut, speak naturally, and get clean text right where you're typing. It removes fillers and repetition while keeping your meaning and tone, with no prompt tweaking. Includes a personal dictionary that learns from corrections, Typeless dictionary import, and translation into 28 languages. All features are free to try.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Timothy, the maker of Openbroca.
I used to be a loyal Typeless user and a genuine fan. Until brain-computer interfaces show up, I’m convinced voice is the best input method we have.
But over time, tools like Typeless and Superwhisper started to feel too heavy for me. I don’t need a flashy interface or a dashboard full of stats. I want a tiny tool that lives quietly on my Mac, the way Shottr does for screenshots: always there, never in the way.
So I built Openbroca. In my daily use, the results are on par with Typeless, and I think sometimes better. Many tools clean up too aggressively. Openbroca drops the “um”s and false starts but keeps the “probably” and the “I think,” so the text still says what I meant, in my own tone. No prompts to tweak.
Now it lives quietly on my Mac, just like I wanted. I’ve been using it for a long time now, and it works so well for me that I want to share it with you.
Small by design: about 6.5 MB, native Swift, no Dock icon. Press ⌥ Space, talk, and clean text lands at your cursor.
Your vocabulary: add names and technical terms, or let the dictionary learn from your corrections. You can import your Typeless dictionary too.
Speak across languages: multilingual dictation, plus translation into 28 output languages.
Every feature is included in the free plan, with 3,000 text units every week and no card required. And since today is launch day, there’s a special discount for the Product Hunt community.
I hope you like it! Where does AI cleanup help you most, and where does it go too far?
I feel truly honored to have had the chance to try OpenBroca during its development.
What impresses me most about this product is its minimalist design. As a next-generation essential utility, it simply stays out of your way while meeting all your needs. At the same time, it gets the fundamentals right: speed and recognition accuracy.
Typing feels incredibly fast, and the intelligent text optimization is genuinely impressive. It just gets what you’re trying to say.
Honestly, a product like this is truly amazing. I absolutely love it.
