Built for the places you already type.
Press once. Speak into the app you were already using.
Just Speak records, transcribes with local Whisper, and inserts the text into the active field.
Focused on transcription
No writing assistant layer. The product is built around fast local dictation and cursor paste.
Whisper runs on your Mac
Speech recognition runs locally via whisper.cpp. Your audio does not need to leave your machine.
Smart model picker
Just Speak recommends the right Whisper model for your hardware: accurate enough without melting your fans.
No API key required for local mode
Use local Whisper offline, or explicitly choose OpenAI or Groq with your own API key when cloud speed matters.
English and Korean UI
A bilingual interface for Mac work, with dictation in every language Whisper understands.

Dictation hears everything you say. Local Whisper keeps that work on your Mac by default.
- Speech recognition runs locally (whisper.cpp)
- Local Whisper works without uploading audio

Before you ask
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, yours forever. Early Access buyers get lifetime Just Speak app updates while the product is actively maintained and distributed. This does not guarantee indefinite maintenance, every future feature, every future macOS compatibility fix, third-party service availability, or support forever.
Does my voice leave my Mac?
Local Whisper is the default and works without uploading audio. If you explicitly select OpenAI or Groq, Just Speak sends audio directly to that provider using your own API key; it does not pass through Swingby servers.
How accurate is local Whisper?
Accuracy varies by model, language, speaking style, microphone quality, and background noise. Just Speak recommends a model for your hardware, and the free trial lets you test it with your own voice and everyday apps.
What happens when the trial ends?
New dictations pause. Your settings and history stay accessible, and entering a license key picks up right where you left off.
