One-line description
LexaWrite is a Mac voice dictation app that transcribes your speech entirely on-device using AI - hold Fn, speak, release, and your words appear wherever you're typing.
Short description (150 words)
LexaWrite brings fast, private voice dictation to every Mac app. Hold the Fn key, speak naturally, release - your words are transcribed locally by an on-device AI model and pasted directly into whatever you're typing. No cloud. No account required. No audio ever leaves your device.
Powered by Metal GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon, LexaWrite transcribes in near real-time across 99 languages with automatic language detection. Features include a custom dictionary for domain-specific terms, style matching to adjust tone per context, full transcript history with audio playback, and a minimal floating status widget. Available in five AI model sizes - from the 75 MB Tiny model to the 3 GB Large model - letting users balance speed and accuracy for their hardware.
Free to start. Pro plan at $4.99/month unlocks unlimited usage, all models, and advanced features. No lock-in - managed through Apple.
