Speak, and clean text appears wherever your cursor is. Saidso transcribes and tidies your words on your Mac: no account, no API keys, works with Wi-Fi off. The AI cleanup runs locally through Ollama. 30-day free trial, then €19 once for up to 3 Macs.

I built Saidso because I dictate a lot and didn't want to rent it monthly or send my voice to someone's API for the cleanup pass.
How it works: a menu bar app records while you hold a hotkey, runs whisper.cpp locally, then a local model in Ollama (free, installed separately; basic cleanup works without it) fixes punctuation and filler words, and the text is pasted into whatever field has focus. Hands-free mode streams text in at natural pauses. The site runs no analytics scripts and sets no cookies.
There's also an opt-in MCP server so AI assistants can manage your custom vocabulary and replacement rules, never transcripts.
30-day trial, no signup; €19 one-time after that, for up to 3 Macs. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. Blunt feedback welcome.
