CLUSTER DICTATION-TEXT-ACCOUNT · 3 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-07
Local macOS dictation apps
The cluster comprises macOS dictation apps that convert speech to text locally, offering push-to-talk, transcript cleanup, and pasting into any app without network or account requirements. The dated entry history is too thin to discern a trend, as there are no dated entries before the index start. All traction leaders show zero stars, indicating minimal engagement.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.
