GitHub: https://github.com/siddhantparadox/dictate A lot of dictation apps push you into subscriptions. But if your main goal is voice-to-text across apps, you may not actually need to keep paying every month. Dictate supports:

  • local Moonshine models
  • local NVIDIA Parakeet and Canary models
  • BYOK Groq (free tier)
  • BYOK Deepgram ($200 free credits)
  • BYOK AssemblyAI ($50 free credits)
  • BYOK OpenRouter For comparison, as of today:
  • Superwhisper Pro is $8.49/mo or $84.99/yr
  • Wispr Flow Pro is $15/mo or $12/mo billed annually So instead of locking yourself into another dictation subscription, you can use local models or start with provider free tiers / free credits first. Windows-first for now. Linux is next. macOS will take longer. Would love feedback. submitted by /u/siddhantparadox
