Better AI prompts
Speak the full context for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor and other AI tools: goals, constraints, examples and the exact output you want.
Native beta for macOS Apple Silicon
Talk to AI
and write everywhere
faster.
QuietType turns natural speech into clean text wherever your cursor is focused: AI prompts, email, WhatsApp, docs, terminals, editors and notes. Local ML on your Mac, without cloud dictation processing.
SAGE keeps vocabulary, spellings and corrections editable on your Mac.
Dictation audio and transcripts stay local.
Draft the client update, tighten the ChatGPT prompt, reply in WhatsApp, and keep my project terminology consistent.

Dictation for every place you already type.
QuietType inserts polished text into the active app, so it works wherever the cursor has focus: AI chats, email, WhatsApp, Slack, notes, documents, terminals, editors, GitHub issues and internal tools.
Everyday replies
Dictate replies for email, WhatsApp, Slack, support tickets, comments and docs without switching to a special transcription window.
Your vocabulary
Teach names, product terms, client spellings, acronyms and technical vocabulary so repeated dictation keeps matching the way you work.
Private by architecture.
QuietType is designed so voice, transcripts, prompts, vocabulary, corrections and review notes stay on your machine. The normal dictation path is native macOS capture, on-device transcription, local cleanup, local insertion and local SAGE memory.
Fast dictation without cloud custody.
QuietType uses Apple platform primitives and local ML instead of hosted ASR. Network participation is never required for normal dictation.
No audio upload
Speech and setup recordings are processed locally. They are not sent to a hosted speech API.
SAGE correction memory
SAGE stores preferred spellings, vocabulary, correction history and review notes locally so QuietType can improve without cloud dictation. Durable memory writes are governed by BFT consensus.
Inspectable corrections
Vocabulary, transcript notes and correction memories are visible and editable, so users can teach the system without losing control.
No cloud fallback
The normal dictation path has no OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic or remote ASR dependency. If local engines are unavailable, setup tells you.
SAGE is the memory layer.
QuietType uses SAGE as local correction memory for the material that makes dictation better over time: preferred spellings, project vocabulary, correction patterns and review notes from real desktop work. BFT governance keeps durable memory writes auditable instead of opaque.
Governed corrections
Every durable spelling, vocabulary and review note stays in a local governed memory path rather than an opaque scratchpad.
AI-ready memory
SAGE gives QuietType editable local memory for AI prompts, terminology-heavy work, everyday dictation and correction history. Beta builds are designed to bring the SAGE GUI with the app for a guided first-run setup.

The local speech compiler.
QuietType is not a wrapper around transcription. It streams audio, stabilizes partial text, applies SAGE correction memory, formats the result and inserts it into the active app.
01SpeakPress Fn or your configured shortcut and speak naturally.
02StreamOn-device ASR starts processing audio chunks while you are still talking.
03CorrectSAGE memories bias vocabulary, correction patterns, spellings and terms.
04PolishFillers, false starts, lists, numbers and corrections are cleaned locally.
05InsertThe final text lands in the active app without a cloud round trip.
Quiet, readable, Mac-native.
The app keeps the operational details visible without making the user manage backend machinery. Setup, SAGE memory review and privacy controls stay close to the dictation workflow.
Public beta now available.
