What's great
I was one of the early adopters of Sosin and worked closely with Alex, providing feedback in later stages of development and helping refine some of the features. I’ve never liked dictating since I always thought writing was better, but it turns out I just didn’t have the right tool.
As a husband and a father of 4, my schedule is intensely packed. I organise everything using calendars, note-taking apps, and shopping lists. I speak three languages and dictate a lot every day to family, friends, colleagues, and AI assistants. I also use it to capture thoughts and ideas in the moment, often switching between languages as I think.
I’ve always disliked built-in Apple's dictation. It’s unreliable, struggles to understand me, ignores context, makes grammatical mistakes, and requires switching keyboard inputs just to speak a different language.
Sosin solves all of these problems seamlessly. I’ve been using it for a few months now and didn’t even notice when it became my default everyday tool. The best part is that I don’t need to open a specific app - it just works in the background.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review!
It’s been a privilege working with you since the early stages. Your feedback was instrumental in helping us refine Sosin into the tool it is today. I’m especially glad to hear that it has managed to fit so seamlessly into your busy life as a father of four—that’s the ultimate stress test for any productivity app!
Hearing that a 'writing purist' has switched to dictation because of Sosin is the best compliment we could receive. We built this specifically to solve those frustrations with native tools—like the language switching and lack of context—and it’s incredibly rewarding to know it’s making your multilingual daily routine easier.
Thanks for being with us from the start. We’re just getting started! 💪🏻

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Aleksander Daniel, and I built Sosin because I was tired of typing. I speak three languages, dictate dozens of messages a day, and the dictation tools I looked at didn't quite fit — either the pricing didn't make sense for how I wanted to use them, or the experience wasn't seamless enough for real daily work. I wanted something dead simple: press a key, speak naturally — with fillers, pauses, half-finished thoughts — and get clean, ready-to-send text at my cursor. That's Sosin.
What makes it different: Sosin runs a two-step AI pipeline. First, your voice is transcribed. Then, a large language model cleans up what you actually meant — removes filler words, fixes grammar, restructures run-on sentences. You can also rewrite your speech into polished paragraphs or translate it into 40+ languages. And with Gemma 4 built in, all of this works completely offline — nothing leaves your Mac.
Privacy was non-negotiable from day one. I work in HR — I know what happens when sensitive data leaks. Sosin never stores your audio. Device IDs are hashed on your Mac before they ever reach a server. Usage data is pseudonymized after 7 days. Every privacy claim on our website is backed by actual code, not marketing copy.
Pricing is flexible, not one-size-fits-all. Local transcription + Gemma 4 offline AI are unlimited and free on every plan — including the free trial. Cloud AI adds the power of a 70B model for maximum quality, with daily minutes depending on your plan: 30 min (Basic, €2.99/mo), 60 min (Starter, €5.99/mo), or unlimited (Plus, €9.99/mo). And if you're a developer who already has a Gemini or OpenAI API key — BYO Key (€29.99 one-time) gives you unlimited Cloud AI forever, no subscription.
I use Sosin for every message I write — to colleagues, to AI assistants, even for this comment. If you speak faster than you type (and you do — 150 wpm vs 40), give it a try.
