About
About Spiel.
Spiel is private, on-device dictation for the Mac — built to help you write faster by speaking instead of typing.
Dictation that stays on your Mac.
Press a hotkey, speak naturally, and Spiel turns your words into text in whatever app you're already using. Transcription runs locally on your Mac, every dictation is saved as a local note you can reuse, and there's no subscription — you buy it once.
Private, fast, and yours.
On-deviceAll processing is done locally and your audio never leaves your device. No analytics, tracking, or telemetry.
Works anywhereDictate into emails, messages, notes, documents, and AI prompts — any standard Mac text field.
One-time priceBuy once instead of paying monthly, with a free trial and updates included.
Notes built inEvery dictation is saved locally, so you can search, clean up, and reuse what you said.
