Speechly
Voice-to-text for Mac with context-aware modes, offline processing, and multilingual support.
About Speechly
Speechly is a Mac voice-to-text app built for drafting text quickly in the place where you are already working. It can adapt its output for email, messages, prompts, notes, code, and to-do items, while multilingual support lets speakers move between more than 150 languages. Three AI engines cover different priorities: Cloud favors speed, Local supports offline and on-device work, and Neural learns from the speaker over time. Pro adds unlimited words, translation into English, Privacy Mode with zero data retention, and speeds advertised up to 350 words per minute. Turbo adds Neural Advanced, precision and speed controls, usage dashboards, SSO/SAML, dedicated support, and speeds up to 680 words per minute. The app is a practical fit for people who compose substantial text on a Mac and prefer speaking to typing. Buyers should weigh the short three-day Pro trial, the higher Turbo price, and the lack of evidence here for non-Mac desktop support against the value of offline transcription and configurable privacy.
