Dictation That Gets Smarter AI VOICE-TO-TEXT FOR MACOS

The best dictation engines were always inside your computer. Hush Touch is fully on-device and only 5.5 MB. It blends two Apple dictation engines, then uses Apple Intelligence for a final pass. The result is faster, cleaner dictation on Mac.

For a fully hands-free flow, say "Hey Siri, start touch" to begin dictation. Hush Touch auto-inserts after 2 seconds of silence. You can also double-click your hotkey to start dictation with the same 2-second Siri-style auto-stop behavior. When you are done, say "okay send message" (or customize your own phrase) to automatically send what you just dictated.

You can also say "Hey Siri, start touch" for hands-free dictation, or double-click your hotkey to start a Siri-style mode that auto-stops after 2 seconds of silence. Say "okay send message" (or a custom phrase) to send the dictated message automatically.
