Math has a provable answer. Code either works or it doesn’t. No matter how smart AI gets, there’s never a guaranteed solution.
AI is a black box where you pray something useful comes out but, the more you tell it, the more it inevitably gets wrong. 😩
The app is a free download with 30 mins of dictation per month. The first 50 users can unlock unlimited for just $9.99 with coupon code FIRST50 (normally $19.99 USD).

you know what to do
There's no shortage of dictation apps in the wild, but TongueType has personality:
- Rainbow mode and other fun themes
- Customizable post-processing rules
- Transcribes audio/video files

It's designed to feel like part of your Mac

It runs 100% on your Mac via Apple Silicon. No API keys, no cloud, no telemetry. Just press, talk, and words appear.
It's the dictation app I always wanted.
