Local, offline dictation for any Mac app, with an optional AI layer for style and grammar cleanup.
Harker converts speech to text anywhere on a Mac, triggered by a keyboard shortcut, and runs its base transcription fully on-device using OpenAI's Whisper model rather than sending audio to a server. The free tier has no word cap, no account requirement, and works across any application that accepts text input, in multiple languages. A paid Premium tier adds a cloud AI layer that rewrites dictated text in a chosen style, fixes grammar, reformats it, and translates it, with custom instructions for how the AI should adjust the output. It's built by Ourfires LTD; a Windows version is planned but not yet available.
Core dictation is free with no limits; Premium (AI style/grammar rewriting) starts at $5.75/month with a 7-day free trial.
Use tool ↗Harker's core pitch — free, unlimited, fully local dictation on Mac — is genuinely free rather than a limited trial, which is unusual in this category. The AI rewriting layer that turns raw dictation into cleaned-up text is what's actually paid, and it requires sending text to the cloud, unlike the base transcription.
