If It Were Me
Local-first AI dictation for macOS — on-device transcription and cleanup, trained over time to sound like you.
Personal project — not for saleSpeak, it types
Hold a hotkey from the menu bar and talk. Clean text lands in whatever app you're focused on.
Fully on-device
Transcription and cleanup run locally with Apple's on-device models. Your voice never leaves your Mac.
Learns your voice
Over time it picks up your vocabulary, style, and per-app tone, so the writing sounds like you — not a robot.
A hobby build and a way to learn: a fully-local alternative to cloud dictation tools. Under the hood, a knowledge base mines your own writing for vocabulary and tone, and a personal voice model refines each transcript into your style. Built by Jacob — more on the maker page. An iOS keyboard and an Apple Watch companion are next.
