Speechcap is an AI-powered push-to-talk dictation app for Mac that turns your voice into polished text in seconds. Choose between cloud-based processing or fully local transcription and AI cleanup with Pro, where your voice never leaves your device. Supports 89 languages, with a free tier and Pro plans starting at just $3/month.

Hi Product Hunt 👋

Speechcap is privacy focused push-to-talk dictation for Mac: hold a key → Whisper transcribes → AI cleans up the filler and formatting → text lands wherever your cursor is. No window to open, no paste step.

It works two ways:

Cloud (default, includes the free tier): zero setup, transcribes instantly. Your audio is transient through the provider and never stored.
Fully on-device (Pro): download Whisper + IBM Granite 4 Micro and both transcription and cleanup run locally. Plane, firewall, no wifi — your voice never leaves the Mac.

Every other dictation tool I tried still sends cleanup to a cloud. That was the itch I wanted to scratch.

A few more things:

2,500 words/week free, no credit card.
89 languages, with translation on Pro.
PPP pricing — ~$3 in some regions, more in others. Not one US sticker for the whole world.

Honest tradeoffs:

Mac only today (Windows in beta).
Small team, newer than the big names. (But we ship fairly fast 🚀)

Would genuinely love your feedback — AMA, I'll be here all day. What would make this a daily driver for you?

Excellent product! I use it regularly in my day-to-day work and have had a great experience with it. One feature I especially value is the ability to switch seamlessly between online and offline modes whenever needed. 🚀🚀

@dhruwang_jariwala19 Hey Dhruwang, thank you for the Feedback ❤️

I used this product, and I have to say that the dictation is flawless, and so is the seamless switch between online and offline modes.
