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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lawyers, doctors, management consultants, authors, journalists, executives and developers — anyone who writes a lot every day and wants to communicate faster and more clearly.
No typing. No post-editing. Just your thoughts — in their best form, directly at the cursor.
