TESIGN TAKE

The pipeline is simple enough to follow with your eyes, and it says on the first line that the audio goes to an external API rather than burying it.

A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

Built-in Mac dictation behaves differently in every app and the result shows it. Blurt gives you one key anywhere, with no subscription and no account: it calls AssemblyAI with a key you own, and every line that sends the audio is readable.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • Native AppKit and SwiftUI — no Electron, no web views. The whole pipeline is one dependency-free Swift package: capture the microphone, one request, paste at the caret. No local models, no background daemon, no job queue. The app is signed and notarised.

WHO IT'S FOR

Mac users who would rather speak their mail and documents, and anyone cutting down on typing.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Get the app from assemblyai.com/blurt and paste in an AssemblyAI key of your own.

CAVEATS

  • The audio goes to AssemblyAI. The app itself is free and MIT, but the API bills by usage and you must create the key yourself. macOS only.
