Intelligent AI Dictation
Hold a hotkey, speak, and Mutter writes the finished email, message, or note — right where your cursor is.
Free to start — 200 words a month, no card required.

A rough thought, finished in seconds
Hold the hotkey and talk. Mutter cleans up the mess and writes the finished thing right where you type — across the apps you already use.
Hold the hotkey and just talk — Mutter cleans it up.
Three reasons it sticks
Get the thought out, get it out faster, and keep it private when it counts.
Say it messy. Send it clean.
Talk the way you'd explain it to a coworker, ums, false starts, and all. Mutter clears the clutter and even recognizes what you're making, an email, a message, a task list, and writes the finished version for you.
um okay so just following up on the invoice from last week… can you send it by friday
Following up on last week's invoice, could you send it over by Friday?
Faster than typing
Most people speak around 150 words a minute and type closer to 40. Mutter turns that speed into finished text, so the email you've been dreading takes seconds, not minutes. Your backlog clears itself.
Private enough for sensitive work
Lawyers, clinicians, founders: turn on Private mode and every word is transcribed on your Mac with an on-device model. No audio leaves the machine, hits a server, or trains anything. Dictate with Wi-Fi off and watch it work.
It knows what you mean.
Say “reply to Josh…” and you get the email, ready to send. No format to pick, no prompt to write. Included with every plan.
Say it once. Send it in their language.
Dictate in the language you think in. Then, in Intent Mode, tap the globe and Mutter instantly rewrites your email, message, or note in another language, ready to send.
Private and fully offline. Speech-to-text runs on your Mac with the on-device model, so no audio ever leaves the machine, in any supported language.
Switch to Cloud mode for the widest reach, powered by a state-of-the-art multilingual model, plus instant translation in Intent Mode.

Questions, answered
Is my audio really private?
In Private mode, yes. Transcription runs entirely on your Mac with an open-source model and nothing is uploaded. Cloud mode sends a single utterance to our transcription provider over an encrypted connection and is never stored.
Do I need an account to dictate?
Yes, an account is your license. But you can start free: a new account gets 200 on-device words a month at no cost, and your audio always stays on your Mac. Upgrade anytime for unlimited dictation plus Cloud and Intent Mode.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Yes. Cloud mode runs on any Mac, Intel included. The fully on-device Private mode requires Apple Silicon.
What is Intent Mode?
Hold the Compose hotkey and speak a rough thought; Mutter detects what you were creating (an email, a prompt, a Slack message, a memo, a task list) and drafts the finished thing for review. Only transcript text is sent, never audio.
Is Mutter just voice-to-text or speech-to-text?
It does both, and more. Plain voice-to-text gives you a raw transcript; Mutter is AI dictation that removes filler, punctuates, and applies your styles, then in Intent Mode writes the finished email, message, or note, ready to send.
How is Mutter different from Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, or VoiceInk?
All of them turn speech into text in any app. Mutter's differences are Intent Mode (it writes the finished email, message, or task list, not just a transcript), a 100% on-device private mode that works offline, and built-in translation into 100+ languages.
Stop typing what you could say.
Finished writing, faster than typing, and private on your Mac when it matters.
Free to start. No credit card required.
