What is Speechcap?
Speechcap is privacy focused push-to-talk dictation for Mac: hold a key ? Whisper transcribes ? AI cleans up the filler and formatting ? text lands wherever your cursor is. No window to open, no paste step.
It works two ways:
Cloud (default, includes the free tier): zero setup, transcribes instantly. Your audio is transient through the provider and never stored.
Fully on-device (Pro): download Whisper + IBM Granite 4 Micro and both transcription and cleanup run locally. Plane, firewall, no wifi — your voice never leaves the Mac.
Every other dictation tool I tried still sends cleanup to a cloud. That was the itch I wanted to scratch.
A few more things:
2,500 words/week free, no credit card.
89 languages, with translation on Pro.
PPP pricing — ~$3 in some regions, more in others. Not one US sticker for the whole world.
Honest tradeoffs:
Mac only today (Windows in beta).
Small team, newer than the big names. (But we ship fairly fast 🚀)
