The problem
Built-in macOS dictation is unreliable with accents, technical terms, and natural speech. Cloud dictation services require internet and upload your voice data. Professional writers and knowledge workers need better accuracy.
How Noted solves this
Use Noted as a powerful dictation tool anywhere on your Mac. Whisper AI provides accurate speech-to-text that handles accents, technical jargon, and natural speech patterns better than built-in dictation.
Whisper-Powered Accuracy
OpenAI's Whisper model handles accents, technical jargon, and natural speech patterns far better than Apple's built-in dictation.
Works Offline
No internet required. Dictate anywhere: on a plane, in a cafe, in a dead zone. Your voice never leaves your Mac.
System-Wide Input
Use Noted dictation in any text field on your Mac. Email, documents, messages, code comments. Anywhere you type.
Multiple Model Sizes
Choose the model that fits your workflow. Tiny for quick notes, large for maximum accuracy on important documents.
