About LocalFlow
LocalFlow is dictation for Mac that runs entirely on your Mac. Hold the Fn key in any app, speak, and let go: your words are typed at the cursor. Speech becomes text on the device, so audio is never uploaded or stored, and after a one-time speech model download it works offline. No word or minute limits. Music goes quiet while you talk, and a word you fix once stays fixed. English only.
Free download: the full app, an easy install, no email or credit card. Setup asks for microphone and Accessibility permissions and takes a couple of minutes.
