01

Local by design

Audio, transcripts, dictionary terms, and screen context stay on your Mac.

02

Ready before you speak

Speech and language models warm at launch, so the first real dictation is fast.

03

Learns your vocabulary

A personal dictionary repairs technical names without flattening the rest of your sentence.

The whole loop

Your voice in.
Clean text out.

Microphone→Local speech→Personal polish→Your text

Windows beta

Beta. Untested on real hardware.

This build is compiled and tested end to end on Windows in continuous integration. Nobody has run it on a real Windows machine yet. Phonon is looking for one tester.

Download the Windows betaWindows 10 or 11 · x64 · CPU inference · 16 GB RAM recommended · 3.8 GB downloaded on first run

The build is not code signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Choose "More info", then "Run anyway".

  • Hold Right Ctrl to dictate.
  • Double-tap to latch.
  • Speech recognition and correction both run on the CPU with no account and no cloud.
