The difference

Not all dictation apps are the same.

Most dictation tools send your voice to the cloud, require a subscription, and need internet. Diktame doesn't.

Privacy

100% local. Your voice never leaves your Mac.

They send audio to cloud servers for processing.

FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Yes, 100%. Diktame runs the Whisper AI model directly on your Mac's Neural Engine. Once the model is downloaded (~500 MB for the small model, installed by default), you don't need an internet connection to dictate. You can dictate on a plane, in the countryside, anywhere. Only Pro license activation and updates use the internet.

Diktame works on any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It is not compatible with Intel Macs because it needs the Neural Engine for local AI processing.

No. Zero. Nothing. Audio is processed locally on your Mac and discarded immediately after transcription. No servers, no external APIs, no user accounts. Your voice never leaves your computer.

No. Download the app, open it, and it works. No registration, no email, no verification. For Diktame Pro, payment is handled through Stripe and you receive a license directly.

Diktame Free is free forever with 2 minutes of dictation per day. Diktame Pro costs €14.99 as a single payment — no monthly subscriptions, no renewals, no surprises. Pay once and it's yours forever, including all future updates.

Diktame supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Diktame Pro includes automatic language detection and live translation.

The base model (~150 MB) is the lightest and very fast. The small model (~500 MB), free and the default, improves accuracy with proper names and technical vocabulary. The large-v3 turbo (~1.6 GB), exclusive to Pro, offers maximum accuracy, ideal for critical transcriptions. All run locally on your Mac.

Yes. Diktame automatically pastes text wherever your cursor is: Mail, Pages, Word, Slack, WhatsApp Web, Notion, VS Code, Telegram, any app where you can type. It works at the operating system level, independent of the target app.

In Diktame Pro, you select an output language different from the one you speak. For example, you speak in English and the text is pasted in French. It's ideal for writing emails to international teams or drafting content in another language without knowing how to type it.

In Diktame Pro you can add a list of words that Whisper should recognize correctly: company names, brands, technical terms, industry jargon, proper names, etc. This avoids transcription errors with uncommon words.

The Diktame Pro license is for one active Mac at a time. You can transfer it to another Mac by deactivating it on the previous one, but it cannot be active on multiple computers simultaneously.

No. As it is a one-time, lifetime license, all sales are final. That's why we offer Diktame Free with no time limit so you can try the app before buying Pro.
