The thought takes a second, typing it takes a minute
You already know what to write. Then twenty words have to go through the keyboard, and that takes longer than the thought did. All day, in every window.

What free actually includes
Not a crippled version and not a trial. Plain dictation — your language in, your language out — is free forever, with no word cap and no card.
Next to what you use now
Everyone has dictation. Three things differ: where the speech is processed, who pays for each word, and whether punctuation shows up.
Speech recognition runs on your Mac, no one counts words, and punctuation is there on arrival. Dictation is free forever, with no word cap.
What it costs
Plain dictation is free forever, with no word cap. After downloading the speech model, you can dictate offline. The paid features start where one language goes in and a different one comes out, and where the text gets rewritten for tone.
Processing on your Mac
Recognition runs on your Mac without sending audio or text to the cloud for processing.
Dictate in your language into any app. No word cap, no card — forever.
14-day free trial after you sign up in the app — no card
