Vox

Vox is voice typing that runs entirely on your Mac or Windows machine. Hold a hotkey, speak normally. Cleaned-up text lands on your clipboard, ready to paste. Whisper / Parakeet handle transcription. Superb and fast local Gemma 4 model cleans it up. No audio ever leaves your device, no account to create, no tracking in the app, and it keeps working on a plane. Free for personal use.
