About
Dicty is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that turns spoken dictation into text and developer documentation using fully local, offline speech models (Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet) with no telemetry. It can format raw speech into commit notes, architecture docs, or meeting summaries using local or user-supplied cloud LLMs, link entries directly to related PRs, commits, and branches, and sync output to tools like Obsidian, Linear, Notion, or Confluence.
At a glance
Dicty transcribes speech and can turn the resulting text into notes or other formats. It is worth evaluating when you want local dictation with the option to add a separate formatting or sync step.
Good fit
Desktop users who want to dictate into several apps and control which steps run locally.
Consider something else when
Keep a simpler dictation tool if you only need plain text and do not want to manage speech models or sync destinations.
Start here
Dictate a made-up note with local transcription and sync disabled. Check accuracy first, then turn on one optional formatting mode and review what it changes.
Cost and requirements
The project offers an open-source desktop app for macOS and Windows. Local inference needs suitable model files and hardware. Hosted features can have separate costs.
Limits to know
The privacy policy describes on-device transcription by default and optional cloud processing. Check formatting and sync settings separately before using work recordings.
