Everything you need from dictation software
Built for macOS, Hush Touch is voice dictation software and a voice typing app with a 5.5 MB footprint and fully on-device processing.
Dual-Engine Recognition
DictationTranscriber handles natural flow and punctuation. SFSpeechRecognizer boosts your custom vocabulary. We blend both Apple dictation engines, then run an Apple Intelligence final pass for stronger AI dictation Mac accuracy.
Custom Vocabulary
500 terms with auto-learn from corrections. Technical jargon, brand names, medical terms - Hush Touch recognizes what you actually say. Per-app profiles adapt automatically.
Smart Text Processing
Filler word removal, auto-correction ("actually" detection), voice snippets for repeated phrases, and numbered list formatting — all processed locally in real time.
Context Modes & Hands-Free
Switch between General, Email, Code, and Notes modes. Say "Hey Siri, start touch" for fully hands-free dictation with auto-insert after 2 seconds of silence. Double-click your hotkey for Siri-style auto-stop. Say "okay send message" to send automatically.
Adaptive Learning
Hush Touch detects when you correct a transcription and auto-adds the right word to your vocabulary. Frequency-weighted language models with per-app profile boosting.
100% On-Device Privacy
Zero cloud dependency. Zero data collection. Your voice is processed entirely on your Mac, including the Apple Intelligence final pass, for private voice dictation software.
Two engines. One perfect result.

Frequently asked questions
How is Hush Touch different from built-in Mac dictation?
Built-in dictation uses a single engine and has no vocabulary learning. Hush Touch blends two Apple dictation engines, runs an Apple Intelligence final pass, learns your custom terms from corrections, removes filler words, and supports voice commands like "okay send message" — all on-device.
Does it work offline?
Yes, always. Hush Touch processes everything on your Mac with zero network requests. You can verify this with any network monitor. No internet connection is ever required.
What if I don't like it?
You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email hush@hushtouch.com and you'll get a full refund.
Will it work with my apps?
Hush Touch works in any text field on your Mac — email clients, Slack, VS Code, browsers, Notes, and more. Per-app vocabulary profiles automatically adapt to each application.
Why $20 once instead of a subscription?
Because Hush Touch runs entirely on your Mac — there are no cloud servers to pay for. You get the full app with lifetime updates for a one-time purchase. No recurring fees, no usage limits.
What are the system requirements?
Hush Touch requires macOS 26 or later with Apple Silicon for dual-engine mode. macOS 15+ is supported with the classic single-engine mode. English only.
