Say it.
Prose types it.
Press a shortcut, speak, and press it again. Your words are typed wherever the cursor is, in any app. Transcription happens on your Mac, so nothing you say leaves it.

Getting started
Open the download and drag Prose to Applications. It lives in the menu bar, and on its first run macOS asks for two permissions:
- Microphone, to hear you. Prose only listens between the two presses of your shortcut.
- Accessibility, to paste into other apps. Without it, your words are copied and you paste them yourself.
The first dictation in a new language downloads Apple’s speech model for it. macOS keeps it and shares it with other apps.
