Offline dictation for Mac that keeps up with real work
THOHT is a macOS menu bar app for voice dictation, speech recognition, and fast text capture. It combines local Whisper transcription with Apple Silicon performance so you can dictate emails, notes, prompts, and messages without waiting on a remote service.
How it works
Transcribe locally with Whisper
THOHT runs speech recognition on-device on Apple Silicon, using the Neural Engine for fast, private transcription without sending audio to the cloud.
Refine, translate, and paste
Use Pro features to polish text, translate it, or apply custom prompts before THOHT pastes the result back into your workflow.

The technology behind the speed
THOHT uses OpenAI's Whisper model for speech recognition and is tuned for Apple Silicon Macs. The combination of local inference, Neural Engine acceleration, and a lightweight menu bar workflow gives you low-latency transcription without the privacy tradeoffs of a cloud-only dictation app.
