Hush Touch | Voice-to-Text for MacOS

Meet Hush Touch, the AI-powered voice-to-text revolution for your Mac that ditches the cloud and supercharges your workflow. This isn't just another dictation app; it's a fully on-device intelligence engine that makes speaking your thoughts faster, smarter, and infinitely more private than typing. Designed for professionals, creators, and anyone who writes, Hush Touch combines two powerful Apple transcription engines with a final Apple Intelligence pass to deliver shockingly accurate, clean text—all processed locally on your Mac. No subscriptions, no lag, no data ever leaving your machine. With a lightning-fast launch from a tiny 5.5MB footprint, it integrates seamlessly into your daily routine for drafting emails, messages, notes, and documents. Simply hit a hotkey, speak naturally, and watch as polished text auto-inserts after a brief pause. For those tired of cloud-dependent, error-prone dictation, Hush Touch is the definitive upgrade: a one-time purchase that learns your unique vocabulary, removes filler words, and gets smarter with every use, all while guaranteeing complete privacy.

Dual-Engine AI Recognition

Hush Touch leverages a powerful dual-engine system for unmatched accuracy. It runs both Apple's DictationTranscriber for natural flow and punctuation and SFSpeechRecognizer to spot your custom vocabulary. These outputs are then blended and refined through a final on-device Apple Intelligence pass, resulting in cleaner, more context-aware transcriptions that understand technical terms and everyday speech with precision.

Custom Vocabulary & Adaptive Learning

Stop fighting with your dictation software over jargon. Hush Touch supports a 500-term custom vocabulary and features auto-learn from your corrections. When you fix a word, it's intelligently added to your personal lexicon. This adaptive learning is frequency-weighted and can even boost specific terms per application, ensuring it nails brand names, medical terminology, and your unique phrasing every time.

100% On-Device Privacy & Processing

Your voice data is yours alone. Hush Touch operates with zero cloud dependency, meaning all audio processing, transcription, and the AI final pass happen entirely on your Mac. This guarantees complete privacy, allows for full offline functionality, and eliminates the latency associated with sending data to remote servers, making it the most secure voice-to-text option available.

Smart Text Processing & Hands-Free Commands

Go beyond basic transcription with intelligent local processing. Hush Touch automatically removes filler words ("um," "like"), applies auto-correction for common slips, and can format numbered lists. Use voice snippets for frequent phrases and switch between context modes like Email or Code. Enable fully hands-free operation with Siri, and use voice commands like "okay send message" to automate your workflow.

Drafting Long-Form Content & Documents

Writers, researchers, and students can break through writer's block and capture ideas at the speed of thought. Dictate blog posts, essays, reports, or chapters hands-free. The app's natural flow processing and punctuation allow you to maintain your narrative voice, while filler word removal delivers a cleaner first draft instantly, saving hours of editing and typing.

Managing Professional Communication

Professionals drowning in emails and Slack messages can reclaim their time. Use Hush Touch to quickly compose and send replies, project updates, or client communications entirely by voice. The dedicated Email context mode optimizes formatting, and the "send message" voice command lets you dispatch communications without ever touching the keyboard, streamlining your entire inbox workflow.

Capturing Technical Notes & Code Snippets

Developers, engineers, and IT professionals can document processes or even dictate code comments and snippets with confidence. The custom vocabulary learns technical terms like "Kubernetes" or "API endpoint," and the Code context mode helps structure your notes. This turns verbal brainstorming into precise, actionable documentation without breaking your flow.

Clinical Documentation & Specialized Dictation

Doctors, therapists, and legal professionals can generate accurate notes on the fly. Hush Touch's ability to learn and perfectly transcribe complex medical, legal, or industry-specific terminology from the get-go eliminates frustrating errors. This ensures patient records, case notes, and reports are both accurate and created efficiently during or immediately after consultations.

How does Hush Touch work offline?

Hush Touch is architected for complete offline functionality. It uses Apple's native speech recognition engines (DictationTranscriber and SFSpeechRecognizer) which are built into macOS, along with an on-device Apple Intelligence model for the final polish. All audio processing and transcription occur locally on your Mac, requiring no internet connection for core dictation features.

What is the difference between the free trial and the full license?

The 7-day free trial offers full access to all features of Hush Touch, including unlimited dictation, custom vocabulary, and all smart processing capabilities. After the trial period ends, you will need to purchase a one-time lifetime license to continue using the app. No features are restricted during the trial.

Can I use Hush Touch with other applications like Google Docs or Word?

Absolutely. Hush Touch works system-wide on your macOS. You can dictate into any text field or application that accepts keyboard input, including web browsers (for Gmail, Google Docs), native apps like Notes and Pages, Microsoft Word, Slack, and many more. It acts as a superior, intelligent replacement for your keyboard.

How does the custom vocabulary and learning feature work?

You can manually add up to 500 terms to your custom dictionary. More powerfully, Hush Touch employs adaptive learning: when you manually correct a transcribed word in any text field, the app detects this and can automatically add the correct spelling and pronunciation to your personal vocabulary, making it smarter and more accurate with each use.

Hush Touch is available for a single, one-time payment of $20 for a lifetime license. This includes all current features and all future updates with no recurring subscription fees. You can try the app first with a full-featured 7-day free trial, which requires no credit card to download and start using.
