CLUSTER DICTATION-MACOS-SPEECH · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-01

Push-to-talk dictation apps

This cluster consists of push-to-talk dictation utilities that transcribe speech on-device and insert the resulting text at the cursor, primarily targeting macOS (with one mentioning both Windows and macOS). The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, murmur-youtube leads with 201 stars, followed by skryba with 13 stars.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

AUG 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
