Voice dictation for macOS that runs on the device using Apple's own speech framework, with no account, no API key and no audio leaving the machine. Press a shortcut, talk, press it again, and the text lands in whatever field you were already typing in. Transcripts are kept locally so anything can be copied again later. It is free and open source.
