What it does

Push-to-talk dictation

Hold Right Shift, speak, and release. Tinta inserts the result at the active cursor in the app you are already using.

Audio and video transcription

Drop in a local media file, transcribe it on the Mac, optionally include timestamps, then copy or save the result.

Local speech recognition

After the speech model is downloaded, dictation and file transcription run locally without sending speech to a cloud transcription service.

Suggested evaluation

  1. Dictate a paragraph into a browser text field or writing app.
  2. Switch the spoken language or use automatic language detection.
  3. Transcribe an audio or video file, then repeat with timestamps enabled.
  4. After the model download, disconnect from the network and repeat a dictation or transcription to verify local processing.
