Voice
On-device dictation for your Mac.
Press a key, talk anywhere, and your words land as clean text.
Halo brings fast, private voice dictation to your Mac. Press the dictation shortcut and talk in any app; your words land as clean text right where your cursor is, with punctuation handled for you. The speech-to-text runs on your Mac, and dictation is just one part of a single assistant that also finishes your sentences, records your calls, and remembers what matters.
How it works
Three ways it earns the shortcut.
Talk anywhere on your Mac
Press the shortcut and speak into any text field, in any app. Your words appear where your cursor is, punctuated and ready, with sub-second latency.
One assistant, not one trick
The same companion that dictates also autocompletes in any app, drafts replies, rewrites a clumsy line, and recalls what you've seen. There's nothing extra to install.
Ask out loud, too
Say "Hey Halo" to set a reminder, check your calendar, or start a recording without touching the keyboard, and choose whether it answers out loud.
Private by design.
Dictation is processed on your Mac. Ambient audio is dropped the instant it becomes text, and nothing is uploaded, so what you say stays on your machine.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does Halo dictation work offline?
Yes. Speech-to-text runs on your Mac, so dictation works with Wi-Fi off and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I dictate in any app?
Yes. Press the dictation shortcut in any text field and your words are typed there, with punctuation handled for you.
Is it just dictation?
No. Dictation is one part of a single assistant that also autocompletes, records and transcribes calls, drafts replies, and remembers what you've seen.
Does it cost anything?
No. On-device dictation is free. A Halo Cloud plan is optional and only for the heaviest work.
