On every Mac
For writers
Write your first draft out loud
Hold a key and talk through the paragraph. Saywind types it where your cursor is, in the app you write in, without rewriting your sentences.
Long passages, hands-free
Double-tap the key and keep talking: pausing to think doesn’t end it. Tap again when you’re done. A hands-free session runs for up to 20 minutes.
Your sentences, not a rewrite
Saywind takes out the ums and the repeated words, and lays out lists you number. It doesn’t rephrase, summarise or change your style.
Paragraphs by voice
Say “new paragraph” to start one, or “new line” for a break.
Names that stay spelt right
Correct a character’s or a place’s name once and Saywind remembers it. After a long passage, or in a long document, fix it with Fix Last Dictation… from the menu bar icon instead. Invented words can go in the Dictionary, with how they sound.
British or US spelling
Colour or color: you choose. See British English.
Your history stays on your Mac
Your speech becomes text on your Mac. History keeps your most recent 2,000 dictations there, so you can find a passage again, and Insights counts your words this week.
What it won’t do
It won’t edit what’s already on the page by voice (“delete that sentence”), transcribe recordings, or write for you. Clean-up is made for English.
Questions
Does it work in my writing app?
If you can type in it, Saywind can put your words there.
How long can one dictation be?
Up to 20 minutes at a time, hands-free.
Talk through the paragraph. Saywind types it.
