SpeakWith — Free 14-Day Trial (macOS 26)
Free for 14 days — pay what you want, and $0 is fine. At checkout, name your price: enter 0 and it costs nothing (no card, no account). A tip is welcome but optional. A tip is a thank-you, not a purchase. Paying anything here still gives you the 14-day trial — it does not unlock the app permanently. To own SpeakWith for good, buy the full version (below). Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon. The trial uses your Mac's built-in on-device dictation, which only exists on macOS 26. On macOS 15 (Sequoia)? This trial won't run — get the full version instead (it supports macOS 15+): ikisystems.gumroad.com/l/vozgsy Keep it after 14 days: buy the full version — $49.99, one-time — at ikisystems.gumroad.com/l/vozgsy, then paste your key into the same app. No reinstall, nothing to move. Try SpeakWith free. Talk out your whole day into one clean document. Speak the document — don't type it. Talk through your day and every thought lands in one place — today's document, in clean markdown. On-device and private, ready to paste into your AI tools with no cleanup step. This free 14-day trial has every feature of SpeakWith — start dictating the moment it opens. Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon. The trial runs on your Mac's built-in on-device dictation, which only exists on macOS 26. On macOS 15 (Sequoia) the trial won't run — get the full version instead (it supports macOS 15+). Works the second you install it No setup, no models to download. Live dictation runs on your Mac's built-in on-device speech, so you press record and your words land in today's document — clean, paragraphed, ready to use. The first time you dictate, macOS installs its own speech asset once ("Preparing dictation…") and then you're going. What you get It all flows into today's document. SpeakWith detects when you finish a thought and writes it down sentence-by-sentence, grouped into clean paragraphs — not a wall of text. Paste it into your AI tool and it just works. A file you own, in a folder you choose. Plain markdown on your Mac — no database, no export step, no lock-in. Hands-free when you want it. Click record and talk, or turn on standby so it starts when you speak and stops when you go quiet. One document per day. Each project its own. Everything you say accumulates in today's file (organized year / month / day), and every project keeps a separate stream — filed automatically. Click any line to hear it. Playback jumps to that exact moment. No scrubbing. Teach it your words once. Add your own names and jargon; it corrects them every time after. Full features, small download Every feature is here from day one. To keep this free trial small enough to grab instantly, the heavy transcription models aren't bundled — sorry for the one extra step. Live dictation needs none of them and works the moment you open the app. Two extras are a free, one-click in-app download whenever you want them: Transcribe audio & video files — meetings, interviews, voice memos, old recordings → text. Higher-accuracy dictation — the Parakeet / Whisper engines, for extra precision over Apple's built-in speech. (The paid version bundles everything, so there's nothing to fetch.) Private because it never leaves your Mac No cloud. No account. No sign-in. Speech recognition runs on-device. Your voice is never uploaded, there's no telemetry, and you don't need an internet connection to record or transcribe. The only thing SpeakWith ever downloads is the speech models themselves — never anything about you. The free trial, and how to keep it It's free — pay what you want. At checkout, name your price and enter 0. A tip is welcome but optional, and not a purchase: paying anything here still gives you the 14-day trial, it does not unlock the app permanently. After 14 days, live dictation and file import pause until you enter a paid license key. To keep SpeakWith for good, buy the full version — $49.99, one-time — at ikisystems.gumroad.com/l/vozgsy, then paste the key into the same app. It unlocks permanently, offers the full model set, nothing to reinstall, and everything you've already dictated stays exactly where it is. What you need A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later), running macOS 26 (Tahoe). (The trial uses Apple's macOS-26-only on-device dictation; the paid version supports macOS 15+.) Drag both apps from the download to your Applications folder — SpeakWith (the recorder) and SpeakWith Engine (a small background helper) — and open SpeakWith. FAQ How much does the trial cost? Nothing — it's pay-what-you-want with a $0 minimum. Enter 0 at checkout. If you'd like to tip, thank you — but a tip is not a purchase and does not unlock the app; it's still the 14-day trial. I'm on macOS 15 (Sequoia) — can I run the trial? No. The trial needs macOS 26's on-device dictation. Get the full version instead — it runs on macOS 15+. Why do I have to download anything? Live dictation works the second you open the app — nothing to download. Two extras — transcribing audio/video files and the higher-accuracy Parakeet/Whisper engines — are a free, one-time in-app download, kept out of the trial so it stays small and instant to install. Sorry for the extra step; the paid version bundles everything, so there's nothing to fetch. Is my audio sent anywhere? No. Recognition runs on your Mac. The only network traffic is downloading the optional speech models themselves — never your audio or text. What happens after 14 days? Live dictation and file import pause until you enter a license key. Buy the full version ($49.99) and paste the key into the same app — no reinstall, and your documents are untouched. What format are the files? Plain markdown (plus SRT/TXT if you want them), in a folder you choose — no lock-in, no export.
