hiSpoke

hiSpoke is a macOS utility that lets users dictate text anywhere on their Mac by holding down the fn key (or right Option) and speaking. When the key is released, a finished text appears at the cursor, with punctuation and paragraphs, and filler words removed. It works across apps like Mail, Slack, Word, VS Code, and browsers. Beyond dictation, saying 'hiSpoke' triggers an AI question-answer panel, and starting with the app's name can also set reminders. The app runs from the menu bar with no dashboard, requires a user's own OpenAI key stored locally, and is sold as a one-time purchase with no subscription.
