julianweisser · x · 2026-09-30
- Detta is a completely free dictation app for Mac powered by the Phonon-2 speech model, paired with Gluon, a text-polishing model. It turns speech into polished writing with a median latency of just 250 ms, running fully locally.
- User julianweisser reports flawless speed and accuracy, far better than the local voice-to-text apps he tried three months ago.
- A notable new option for privacy-conscious users who want offline transcription.
