How it works

Three seconds to the perfect sentence.

Press, speak, release — that's it. AngelWrite handles the rest.

01

Hold your shortcut

Hold down your chosen keyboard shortcut. Recording starts immediately — no clicking, no opening. No 30-second limit like Apple Dictation.

02

Just speak

Speak your thought naturally, without overthinking. AngelWrite listens for as long as you hold the key. Filler words, sentence structure, pace — none of it matters. And you read along live: the recognized text appears word by word, while you're still speaking.

03

Release the key

Release — and your text appears instantly at your cursor position. In every app. Done. No copy-paste, no window switching.

New · v1.2.0

Read along as you speak.

A floating window shows your text live — word by word, while you're still speaking. No more flying blind: you see right away that AngelWrite understands you.

👁️

Read along in real time

While you hold the key, the recognized text appears word by word to read along. You stay in control instead of hoping.

🎛️

Your mode, always visible

The window header shows your active mode and shortcut. You always know what AngelWrite is about to make of it.

On-device, no detour

The preview runs right on your Mac, in parallel with recording. On by default — nothing to set up.

The preview is for reading along only — the inserted text is finalized as usual.

Modes

One shortcut. Five voices. Each lands.

From verbatim transcription to a fully custom workflow — the further you go, the more powerful it gets.

Grammar corrected, filler words removed, your tone preserved. For text that needs to be clear and readable without sounding stiff.
"I'd like to briefly touch on what happened yesterday. I see room for clarification and I'm confident we can find a constructive solution together."
Frustration becomes a professional tone — the message stays, the edge goes. For emails that land without causing damage.
"I'd like to address what happened yesterday — I think it's important that we discuss this openly and find a constructive way forward."
Spoken in any language, delivered in polished English. No manual translation — for international teams and global communication.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question?

Write to us →
What is the best dictation app for Mac with a keyboard shortcut that works in every app? +

AngelWrite is the best push-to-talk dictation app for macOS. Hold the key, speak, release — text appears instantly wherever your cursor is: in Mail, Slack, Word, Notion or any browser. No app switching, no clicking.

Can I read along live while dictating to see what AngelWrite recognizes? +

Yes. A floating preview window shows the recognized text word by word, while you're still speaking — including the active mode and shortcut in the header. You read along the whole time and stay in control. The preview is for reading along only; the inserted text is finalized as usual. On by default since version 1.2.0.

Is AngelWrite GDPR-compliant? Are my voice recordings sent to the cloud? +

In local mode, no audio ever leaves your device — fully offline, ideal for lawyers, doctors and consultants. In Pro mode, audio is encrypted and transmitted to our server and OpenAI Whisper. GDPR-compliant in both modes. Details in the Privacy Policy.

What is the best replacement for Dragon Dictate on Mac? +

AngelWrite is the most modern alternative to Dragon Dictate for macOS. Dragon for Mac was discontinued — AngelWrite takes over: local AI transcription based on OpenAI Whisper, one-time purchase without subscription, no internet required.

What makes AngelWrite different from built-in Apple Dictation? +

Apple Dictation stops after 30–60 seconds, handles non-English languages less accurately, and doesn't improve your text. AngelWrite has no time limit, uses Whisper, refines text through AI modes and works via keyboard shortcut in every app — without Siri and without the cloud.

Does AngelWrite work offline — on a train, abroad, without Wi-Fi? +

In local mode (Original), AngelWrite runs completely offline — transcription happens on your Mac, no server connection needed. The 7-day Pro trial and Pro mode use cloud transcription and AI processing and require an internet connection.

How much faster am I when I dictate instead of type? +

Speaking is 3× faster than typing. Average typing speed: 53 WPM. Speaking: 161 WPM (Stanford HCI Lab). With two hours of daily writing = up to 90 minutes of recovered time per day.

What is the difference between Local, Pro and Advanced? +

Local (€19 one-time) — offline, maximum privacy, app updates & bug fixes included. Pro (€99 / year) — all AI modes, cloud transcription, new features. Advanced (€149 one-time) — own API key, custom prompts, unlimited requests.

Which professions benefit most from AngelWrite? +

Lawyers, doctors, management consultants, authors, journalists, executives and developers — anyone who writes a lot every day and wants to communicate faster and more clearly.

Speak.
Save 90 minutes a day.

No typing. No post-editing. Just your thoughts — in their best form, directly at the cursor.
