Voice dictation on a Mac: hold a key, talk, it’s typed

Saymila sits in your Mac’s menu bar. No keyboard to install: one shortcut is all it takes to dictate clean text wherever your cursor is.

How it works

  • Hold the right Option key (or the one you pick).
  • Talk naturally, hesitations and all.
  • Let go: the corrected text is typed wherever your cursor is.

It works in every app you can type in: Mail, Messages, Slack, your browser, your word processor…

Saymila on a Mac: your voice becomes polished text in the draftOn a Mac, a dictated email is typed straight into the message

Clean up text you already wrote

Select some text, right-click › Services: Saymila cleans it up, in any app. Handy for a message typed too fast.

Your voice stays on your Mac

Speech recognition is done by macOS, on your Mac: no audio recording is sent or kept. Only the transcribed text goes to our server to be cleaned up, and it is never stored there.

Saymila asks for Accessibility: it lets it hear its shortcut in every app and type the text wherever your cursor is. Nothing you type is recorded.

The same account as on your phone

Your plan, your styles and your word count are shared between your Mac and your phone. You can subscribe from your Mac, or keep the subscription you bought on iPhone or Android.
