# Spiel press kit

Spiel is a dictation app for Apple Silicon Macs. Press the Fn key or a custom hotkey, speak, and Spiel types what you said into the app you're working in. Transcription happens entirely on the Mac — audio is never sent to a server, and there are no analytics or telemetry.

Each dictation is saved as a local note, so you can search, edit, and reuse what you said. Optional cleanup trims filler words and fixes punctuation using Apple's on-device models. Spiel is a one-time purchase, available from spiel.to with a three-day free trial, and on the Mac App Store.

## Features

- Speech-to-text — on-device recognition with Apple SpeechAnalyzer or local Whisper models
- Insert anywhere — types into any standard Mac text field, with clipboard paste as the fallback
- Local notes — saves every dictation as a searchable note you can edit and reuse
- Cleanup and titles — optional on-device cleanup and note titles, via Apple Foundation Models or a local LFM2.5 model
- Usage insights — words dictated, time saved, and speaking pace, kept on device
- 99+ languages — speech recognition across the supported engines
- Audio import — transcribes MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF, and CAF files into notes
- Custom vocabulary — user-defined spellings for names and technical terms
- Formats and tones — email, chat, list, code-safe, and other dictation styles
- Triggers — menu bar, Fn key, custom hotkey, or Shortcuts
