Three engines, one app
SpeakWith picks the right tool for the job. Here's what each engine is great at.
Apple
Built into macOS. Instant, offline, and free. Perfect for quick dictation and everyday notes.
Whisper
Maximum robustness on tough audio: accents, background noise, crosstalk. Steps up from a fast model to a high-accuracy model when it senses lower confidence.
Parakeet
The speed champion. Near-instant transcription with excellent accuracy on clean audio.
