Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Prayas, and I built Murmurly.

I wanted to dictate instead of type: Slack replies, emails, notes, commit messages. But most dictation apps I tried send your voice to their servers to transcribe it. For something I'd use all day, on everything I write, that didn't sit right with me.

So I built the dictation app I wanted:

Hold a key, talk, let go. Clean, punctuated text lands at your cursor in whatever app you're in: Mail, Slack, Notes, Terminal, your browser.

Private by default.

• Speech is transcribed on your Mac

• Cleanup runs on-device with Apple Intelligence by default

• Audio is never stored

• Your transcripts never reach our servers. The account only keeps usage counts, never what you said.

Powerful when you want it.

• Bring your own AI: plug in Claude, GPT, Gemini, Groq or any OpenAI-compatible model with your own key for a sharper polish

• A dictionary for the names it mishears (Kubernetes, Postgres, your teammates' names)

• Snippets that expand a short phrase into full text

• Per-app styles: casual in Slack, formal in Mail

It's free to dictate.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. How does transcription accuracy hold up with your accent and vocabulary?

2. Is the default shortcut (⌘⌥S) comfortable, or would you rather use fn or something else?

3. Did anything in the first-run setup (mic, Accessibility permission) confuse you?

4. What would make you switch from the dictation tool you use today?

I'm here all day answering questions. Tell me what breaks! 🙏
