100+ language support
Dictate in more than 100 languages, including mixed-language dictation. Spokenly detects the language as you speak and keeps up.
What Spokenly is
Spokenly is an AI dictation app for Mac, iPhone, and Windows. It is designed to turn spoken input into text in any app, with support for local offline models and cloud transcription depending on the plan or provider you choose.
The product centers on a privacy-first workflow: local Whisper and Parakeet models run offline, while cloud modes are available through Pro or by connecting your own API keys. Spokenly also adds AI text cleanup, language detection, and searchable dictation history to make speech-to-text usable for writing, coding, note taking, and similar tasks.
Core features
Offline local models
Use on-device Whisper and Parakeet models for offline transcription. Local-only mode blocks network requests so voice data stays on the device.
Cloud transcription options
Choose cloud transcription through your own API keys or a Pro subscription. The pricing page lists OpenAI, Deepgram, Groq, ElevenLabs, Mistral, and other providers.
System-wide text entry
Spokenly types into the app where your cursor is placed, so it works across browsers, email, IDEs, chat apps, and word processors on Mac.
AI text cleanup
Custom prompts can clean up grammar, remove filler words, and format dictation to fit the app or task you are working in.
History and export
Search past dictations, replay audio, and export entries when you need to review or reuse earlier speech.
Common ways to use Spokenly
Everyday writing
Use Spokenly for drafting email, documents, notes, or chat messages without switching away from the app you are already using.
Developer workflows
Use it in IDEs, coding assistants, or terminal-like workflows when you want to dictate prompts, explanations, or code-related text instead of typing.
Private or offline dictation
Use offline local models when you need speech-to-text on a device that should stay disconnected from cloud processing.
Higher-accuracy transcription
Use cloud models or Pro when you need higher-accuracy transcription for accents, technical vocabulary, or longer-form dictation.
Student use
Use the student discount flow if you are a verified student and want Pro access at a reduced price across your devices.
