Dictation software on the Mac – what do you use?
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a good dictation solution for my Mac and wanted to ask what you all use
Apple's built-in dictation feature is okay, but I find it unreliable at times – especially with longer texts and in quieter environments. I work a lot with text (emails, documents, notes) and would like to dictate more by voice to free up my hands.
Do you have any experience with:
I am particularly interested in whether there is something that works reliably and smoothly – ideally without cloud services and without a subscription.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have any experience with:
- Whisper-based tools (local, offline)?
- Other third-party solutions?
- Specific settings that improve Apple's dictation feature?
