TovoType
Local dictation and meeting notes for your Mac
Mac$9.90 once
The verdict
Press Fn, talk, and TovoType transcribes and tidies your words entirely on your Mac, turning spoken lists, numbers and punctuation into clean text in whatever app you are in. It also rewrites or translates selected text in place and takes meeting notes with speaker labels, a summary and action items, with no bot joining the call. At $9.90 once until November 30, it costs less than 1 month of Wispr Flow Pro.
