Private dictation on the Mac

NeoWispr is a privacy-friendly dictation app for the Mac: speech recognition runs 100% offline on the Apple Neural Engine. By default no audio leaves your device, there is no account, no cloud and no telemetry. If you work with confidential content, you dictate without any voice data going to a server.

Processing stays on your Mac

Recognition happens on-device on the Neural Engine. There is no upload, no server processing and no hidden sync. That is the key difference from cloud-based dictation apps, where your voice leaves the device for processing.

No audio is stored

NeoWispr stores no audio recordings. Only the finished text lands in a local, searchable history that you can delete or export at any time. You keep full control over your data.

No account, no telemetry

You need no account and do not sign in anywhere. NeoWispr collects no usage data and sends no telemetry. Because processing stays local, the dictation feature involves no transfer of personal data to third parties.

FAQ

Common questions

Is NeoWispr GDPR-compliant?

NeoWispr processes speech recognition locally on your Mac and by default sends no audio to a server. Since no personal data is transferred to third parties, the dictation feature is built privacy-first. A concrete GDPR assessment always depends on your specific use.

Does my audio ever leave the Mac?

Not for speech recognition, which runs on-device. Only if you enable the optional AI polish with an external provider is text (not audio) sent there. That feature is switchable and not required by default.

Does this work offline too?

Yes. Speech recognition needs no internet connection and works in airplane mode too.
