Frequently asked questions
What is Spokenly?
Spokenly is an AI-powered dictation app for Mac, iPhone and Windows. Press a shortcut, speak, and your words appear at the cursor in any application. It runs local Whisper and Parakeet models for free offline transcription, supports cloud engines via your own API keys, and works in 100+ languages.
What languages are supported?
Over 100 languages are supported including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and many more. Quality varies by model and language.
Is my voice data private and secure?
With local models, your voice never leaves your Mac. For cloud models, audio is processed and immediately deleted, never stored. Enable local-only mode to block all network requests.
Which apps does Spokenly work with?
Spokenly works with any Mac app that accepts text input: browsers, email clients, IDEs, chat apps, word processors, and more. It types wherever your cursor is positioned.
How is Spokenly different from native Mac dictation?
Spokenly uses Whisper and Parakeet, modern AI models that handle technical terms, accents, and non-English languages much better than Apple's built-in dictation. It also adds real-time transcription and AI text cleanup that macOS dictation does not have.
Why is my MacBook dictation not working?
Usually it comes down to one of four things: the Dictation toggle is off in System Settings, the on-device language model never finished downloading, microphone permission got revoked after a macOS update, or another app's shortcut is conflicting. Toggle Dictation off and on under System Settings → Keyboard, then re-download the language model. If it still fails, Spokenly works system-wide without depending on the built-in dictation toggle.
Do I need to pay for basic features?
No. Local Whisper and Parakeet models (and any future on-device engines) are completely free with no limits. You only pay if you want to use cloud models without providing your own API keys.
