Hi Product Hunt, I'm Tobias. inlaut is my hobby project: I dictate a lot, in German and English, and didn't want my mails and notes to go through a cloud service. Apple's own dictation kept getting technical terms wrong for me, so I built this. How it works: hold a shortcut or the 🌐 key, speak, let go. The text lands at the cursor in any app. What's different: - Everything runs on your Mac (Parakeet on the Neural Engine). The only network calls are the one-time model download and the update check. - English, German and sentences that mix both, with a single model. - About 50 MB of memory while idle. - Free and open source (GPL-3.0), no account. Limits: Apple silicon and macOS 26 only, and it is plain dictation without AI rewriting. I'd love to hear what is missing for your daily use.
