LocalBolo

LocalBolo is a Mac dictation app that transcribes English speech using models running on your device. Hold fn to speak and release it to insert text at the cursor. - Dictate into text fields across Mac apps. - Choose Parakeet or Whisper speech models. - Optionally remove filler words and apply spoken corrections locally. - Restore clipboard contents after inserting a transcript. - Process recordings in memory without retaining them. One-time purchase for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later. Dictation works offline after setup, but activation, model downloads, and periodic license checks require internet access.
