# VTT App nativa di dettatura per macOS, con trascrizione privata sul dispositivo e motori cloud opzionali tramite le proprie chiavi API. - Findings24: - Sito web: - Prezzi: Freemium - Categorie: Voce in Testo ## Cos'è VTT? VTT is a native macOS dictation app for people who want voice-to-text that stays close to the system experience. It supports on-device transcription by default, with optional cloud engines if you want to trade privacy for another accuracy path, and it is built only for Mac. The app is designed around a menu-bar workflow: trigger dictation with a global hotkey, have text inserted into the app you are working in, and keep a local history of recent transcripts. The site also highlights per-language engine selection, downloadable models, and support for accents that built-in dictation may handle poorly. VTT’s privacy model is straightforward. On-device dictation keeps audio on the Mac, while cloud engines are used only with your own provider key. The result is a dictation tool aimed at users who want a private default, a native macOS interface, and more control over which engine handles each language. ## Cosa può fare VTT? ### On-device transcription Use Apple’s on-device Speech engine, including the newer macOS 26 models, to transcribe locally so audio does not leave your Mac. ### Menu-bar workflow Run VTT from the menu bar with a global hotkey, a live waveform, and auto-insert into the app you are currently typing in. ### Cloud engine choice Bring your own API key for Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs, then choose the model you want from each provider. ### Per-language routing Route different languages to different engines, either automatically or by manual selection, so each language can use the engine that fits best. ### Downloadable models Pre-download supported language models so dictation starts as soon as you press the shortcut, even without waiting on a download. ### Local transcript history Keep a local, newest-first transcript history on your Mac so you can paste a recent dictation again if you need to. ## Casi d'uso ### Hands-free writing on Mac Dictate text into emails, documents, and other Mac apps using a global hotkey and automatic insertion, instead of switching to a separate transcription window. ### Private local transcription Keep sensitive audio on your device by using Apple’s on-device Speech engine for drafts, notes, and other private dictation. ### Accent-sensitive dictation Switch to Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs when built-in dictation struggles with a strong accent or a particular language. ### Multilingual workflows Route languages separately when you work across more than one language, so each one can use the engine that handles it best. ### Recovering recent dictation Re-paste recent transcripts from local history if you paste into the wrong place, close the app, or want to reuse the latest dictation. ## Domande frequenti ### Is VTT private, and does my audio leave my Mac? By default, VTT transcribes on-device using Apple’s Speech engine, so audio stays on your Mac. There is no account or analytics. If you enable a cloud engine, audio is sent directly to that provider using your own API key. ### Is VTT free to use? Yes. VTT is free to start, with no account required. On-device dictation costs nothing. Cloud engines are pay-as-you-go through your own provider API key if you choose to use them. ### Which speech engines does VTT support? VTT supports Apple’s on-device Speech engine, including the macOS 26 models, plus optional cloud engines from Deepgram, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs. You can choose the engine per language. ### What are the system requirements? VTT requires macOS 14 or later and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The site says it recommends the correct build automatically. ### Does VTT work offline? Yes. On-device dictation works fully offline. An internet connection is only needed for cloud engines or to download additional language models. ## Informazioni rapide - **Category**: Productivity - **Platform**: macOS - **App type**: Native dictation app - **Default mode**: On-device transcription - **Supported engines**: Apple Speech, Deepgram, OpenAI, ElevenLabs - **Source domain**: vtt.the-ihor.com
