Offline dictation for Mac

Offline dictation for Mac, no internet needed

NatterType turns messy speech into clean writing entirely on your Mac. After a one-time setup it needs no internet at all — nothing is uploaded, and it works on a train, on a plane, or anywhere with no signal.

Good news — we've landed the Harborview deal, signed this morning. Really pleased with this one. Can someone kick off onboarding this week? I'll call the client back on Thursday once I'm back online.

Why people choose offline dictation

100% offline

After setup, no internet is needed for anything. It works on a plane, on the Tube, in a basement — wherever you happen to be typing.

Nothing uploaded, ever

Your words never touch a server, because there is no server. Everything you say and write stays on your Mac.

Fast on Apple Silicon

Built for Apple Silicon and run on-device, so it's quick — no round-trip to a data centre and back to wait on.

Offline by architecture

No connection, no upload, nothing to leak

Cloud dictation stops working the moment your signal drops, and sends every word to a data centre when it does work. NatterType runs entirely on your Mac — so it keeps going with the internet off, and there is nothing to breach.

Questions about offline use

Does it work completely offline?

Yes. After the one-time setup, no internet is needed. It works in aeroplane mode, on a train, or with no signal.

Is anything uploaded to the internet?

No. Nothing you say or write leaves your Mac, which is exactly why it works with no connection.

Is it fast without a cloud connection?

Yes. It's built for Apple Silicon and runs on-device, so there's no server round-trip to wait for.
