Your voice is captured

No wake words. Just talk.

Text appears instantly

Right where your cursor is.

Prompt your AI

You talk to AI all day anyway. Do it out loud instead of typing, and it quickly becomes second nature.

Think out loud

Your ideas come faster than you can type. Say them as they land and finally keep pace with your own head.

Spare your hands

Write all day and your wrists never feel it. Lean back, speak from across the room, and the words still land.

Try it once. You won’t go back.

Wait, but where does
your voice go?

Many tools send your voice to their servers to turn it into text. That includes your messages, notes, and confidential work.

Your voice should be private.
Don't just give it away.

What's at stake

The email to your lawyer.

The note about your health.

A confidential work message.

Your voice, a biometric.

Once it's uploaded, it's out of your hands.

Many tools upload your voice.

Questions before you start

Honest answers from the person who built it.

Is my data really private?

Yes. There are no transcription servers. Audio is processed on your Mac's GPU and discarded after processing. No audio, transcripts, or dictated content are sent to us or logged by us. The app emits no analytics events apart from Crashlytics crash diagnostics, and may keep local transcript history on your Mac so you can review and clear it.

Does it work without the internet?

Internet required on first launch to download the required on-device models. Keep at least 3 GB free during setup. After setup, the app works offline.

How good is the transcription?

It's powered by OpenAI's Whisper model running directly on your Apple Silicon GPU. You get cloud-level accuracy without the cloud. Most people see text appear within a second.

Will it work on my Mac?

You need macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later and Apple silicon (M1 or newer). Internet required on first launch to download the required on-device models. Keep at least 3 GB free during setup. After setup, the app works offline. Intel Macs are not supported

What if I don't like it?

You get your money back. Email me within 30 days and I'll refund you in full. No reason required. Here's the Refund Policy.

What if I get a new Mac?

Your license covers one Mac at a time. If you switch to a new Mac, just move Presto over. No need to buy again.

What if you stop working on it?

Presto has no cloud transcription dependency. Once setup is complete, transcription runs on your Mac instead of someone else's servers. That's one of the advantages of local software: your voice-to-text workflow does not depend on cloud processing.
