Speechly is a macOS dictation app built around a simple premise: typing has barely changed in decades, while speaking is dramatically faster. The founders — Rafael and Paul — position the product as a "smart speech-to-text co-pilot" that replaces the keyboard rather than requiring you to copy text out of a separate transcription tool.
The app offers five intelligent modes — Voice-to-Text, Email, Message, Prompt and To-Do — each tailored to a different writing context. Because it integrates with 150+ applications including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Word, Cursor, Claude Code and Zendesk, you can dictate directly into the tool you already have open, with no window switching. Speechly says it is roughly 4x faster than typing, that a neural engine adapts to your voice and vocabulary over time, and that it supports 150+ languages with seamless switching.
Privacy is a stated priority: Speechly markets 100% private transcription, works offline, and is written in native code for performance on macOS. Quality-of-life features include Fn-key push-to-talk, keyboard shortcuts, a searchable history of past transcriptions and a team dashboard that tracks time saved. The app is used by a reported 11,000+ professionals, and Speechly publishes comparisons against alternatives such as Superwhisper, Wispr Flow and Dragon.
