About
Szept is a macOS app that combines voice dictation with AI cleanup, screenshots, and screen recording into a single workflow for handing context to AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It runs without a bundled speech model, using a metered transcription API, and pastes dictated text or captured screens directly into the active app.
At a glance
Szept combines push-to-talk dictation and screen capture for Mac apps, including coding agents. It is worth considering if you often need to describe a visible issue and attach the relevant region in the same handoff.
Good fit
Mac users who want a keyboard shortcut for voice and annotated screenshots while choosing where to paste them.
Consider something else when
Choose offline dictation if microphone audio cannot leave your device.
Start here
Try a short made-up bug report and a blank test window. Check the transcript and attachment in a scratch destination before using an agent session.
Cost and requirements
The vendor lists macOS 14 or newer, a one-time purchase and a separately billed Soniox key. Optional cleanup uses a configured model provider.
Limits to know
The privacy policy says speech goes to Soniox and selected text goes to the cleanup or translation provider when those features are used. A pasted capture becomes subject to the destination app’s handling.

Why it made the leaderboard
Szept lets you talk and point at your screen to brief Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex in one motion, formatting your words differently depending on whether they're headed to a terminal, chat, or email.
