VTT — Voice to Text for Mac
Speak. It types. Anywhere on your Mac.
VTT is a polished, native macOS menu-bar app for instant voice dictation. A floating pill sits on top of everything and never steals focus — hit a global hotkey, speak, and your words are auto-inserted at your cursor in any app. Transcribe privately on-device (audio never leaves your Mac, no account, no telemetry) or route any language to a cloud engine — Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs — using your own API key for top accuracy on accents. 26 languages, live waveform, dictation history, and transparent per-provider cost tracking. Free to start.

Hey Fazier! I built VTT because built-in Mac dictation kept mishearing my accent, and the good alternatives either uploaded my audio to the cloud or locked me into a subscription. VTT runs fully on-device by default (no account, no telemetry), but lets you bring your own API key for Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs when you want top accuracy on accented speech. The floating bar never steals focus, so your words just appear at your cursor in any app. Free to start — would love feedback on the per-language engine routing.
