AI Dictation is a voice-to-text application designed for macOS that transforms spoken words into polished, well-formatted text.

The tool features an "Auto mode" that intelligently selects the optimal recognition engine, switching between on-device (offline) and cloud-based processing to ensure continuous functionality and enhanced output quality. The application aims to streamline the writing process by capturing thoughts at speaking speed and then refining them.
