Whisper-powered dictation that turns your speech into polished text in any app. Free, unlimited, and 100% private on your Mac.
Totally safe. DuggVoice runs 100% on your device and your voice never leaves your computer. The first time you open it, your Mac or PC shows a one-time warning simply because we haven’t paid Apple or Microsoft’s yearly app-signing fee yet — not because anything’s wrong. The install steps show you how to get past it in two clicks.
Same press-to-talk experience, but powered by local models with no word limits and nothing sent to the cloud.
Your voice never leaves your computer. Every model runs locally, with no internet connection needed after setup.
If your Mac has the horsepower, run the same large models the pros pay for, accelerated on Apple Silicon. Lighter machines pick Small or Tiny. Your call.
An optional on-device LLM removes filler words, fixes grammar, and polishes your speech into professional text, without sending a word to the cloud.

Download for Macfree tier capped at 2,000 words/week
Cloud-basedDuggVoice is 100% free, has no word limits, and runs entirely on your Mac. Unlike Wispr Flow, which costs $15/mo, caps the free tier at 2,000 words/week, and processes audio in the cloud, DuggVoice uses local Whisper models, so your voice never leaves your device.
For transcription, choose from OpenAI Whisper (Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large v3 Turbo) or Distil-Whisper. For optional text cleanup, DuggVoice runs a small local LLM (Phi-3 Mini or TinyLlama) via the ONNX runtime, accelerated by WebGPU on Apple Silicon.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) is recommended. Its GPU runs Whisper Large v3 fast and fully offline. Smaller models (Whisper Tiny/Small) run great on lighter machines. 8GB+ RAM is ideal for the large models.
Yes, 100% free, forever. No trial period, no premium tier, no hidden costs. All AI processing runs on your machine, so there are no cloud computing costs to pass on to you.
Only for sign-in and the one-time model download. Once your model is downloaded, DuggVoice works completely offline. Perfect for on-the-go use or private environments.
DuggVoice supports 12+ languages including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, and more, thanks to OpenAI Whisper's multilingual capabilities. The English-only models offer better accuracy for English speakers.
