Hold a hotkey, speak, let go — MalibuDictate transcribes what you said anywhere on macOS, with optional AI rewriting to clean it up before it lands in your text field.
Multi-engine transcription · Optional AI rewriting · Works anywhere
Press and hold anywhere in macOS — any app, any text field — to start dictating.
Choose the transcription engine that fits — Apple Speech, WhisperKit, or Parakeet.
Let Claude tidy up filler words and formatting before the text lands — or skip it for raw transcription.
No app-switching — the result is typed directly into whatever field you were using.
Push-to-talk anywhere on macOS — no dedicated app to switch into, no dictation window to manage.
One global hotkey works in any app — emails, chat, notes, code comments — wherever your cursor is.
Switch between Apple Speech, WhisperKit, and Parakeet depending on language and accuracy needs.
Send your dictation through Claude to clean up filler words, fix punctuation, and tighten phrasing — entirely optional.
Every dictation is kept so you can find and reuse something you said earlier.
A short audio cue marks the start of recording, so you always know exactly when it's listening.
On-device transcription options are available if you'd rather nothing leave your Mac; the AI-rewrite step is opt-in.
Dictate directly into whatever you're already working on — an email, a doc, a terminal.
Not locked into one transcription model — choose what performs best for your voice and language.
Raw transcription is full of "um"s and run-on sentences. The optional AI pass fixes that before you see it.
On-device engines available; the AI-rewrite step is opt-in, not required.
