Private dictation for Mac

Private, on-device dictation for Mac

NatterType turns your speech into finished writing without sending a single word to the cloud. Recognition and cleanup happen entirely on your Mac, so nothing is uploaded — and it keeps working with no internet at all.

Why people choose private dictation

Nothing uploaded, ever

Recognition and cleanup run on your Mac. There is no server, no upload and no copy in a data centre. Your words stay yours.

Works offline

No connection needed. Dictate on a plane, a train or a locked-down network — it all runs locally, every time.

No account to dictate

You don't sign in to speak. NatterType does its work on-device, which makes it a clean fit for privacy-conscious and GDPR-conscious teams.

Privacy by architecture

Your words never leave your Mac

Cloud dictation ships your voice to a data centre to be processed and stored. NatterType does everything on-device, so there is nothing to intercept, nothing to breach and nothing to explain.
