A free Mac hotkey app that turns spoken words into typed text in whatever app you're using.
Freeway is a macOS app you install once: press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear as typed text in whatever app has focus, using an on-device speech model running through Apple's Neural Engine. Because transcription happens locally, audio never leaves the machine, which the app leans on as its main privacy pitch. It supports 25 languages and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It is operated by Synthilab OU, an Estonian company, is free with no subscription, and is distributed as a direct download rather than through the Mac App Store.
Entirely free to download and use; no paid tier found.
Use tool ↗Freeway's pitch is fast, free, on-device dictation for Mac without sending audio to a server, which matters if you dictate anything sensitive. It is Mac-only and single-purpose, built for live dictation into whatever app has focus, not a full transcription tool for pre-recorded audio or meetings.
