What is Wave Dictation?
Wave is a lightweight, native macOS dictation app focused on fast voice-to-text workflows with minimal UI overhead. Press a shortcut, speak, and your words are instantly pasted at the cursor. Supports on-device transcription via Whisper and cloud transcription via Groq, plus an AI Mode that sends your voice to an LLM and pastes the response directly.
Features:
- Dictation — global shortcut triggers recording; transcription is pasted at the active cursor
- Push to Talk or Toggle — hold to record and release, or press once to start and again to stop
- Local transcription — on-device Whisper inference, no internet required
- Groq cloud transcription — faster cloud-based transcription via the Groq API
- AI Mode — separate shortcut sends your voice to an LLM and pastes a direct answer
- Snippets — save reusable text snippets; AI Mode is aware of them
- Dictation history — recent transcriptions with right-click copy
- Language selection — auto-detect or set a specific language (ISO 639-1)
