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.
