Press ⌥, speak, and your words appear wherever your cursor is — in any app. Powered by Whisper AI running entirely on your Mac's Neural Engine. No internet required.
No window to open, no mode to switch. Just press, speak, release.
Press and hold Right Option from anywhere on macOS. A subtle indicator shows Jot is listening — nothing else changes on your screen.
Whisper AI transcribes every word in real-time on your Apple Neural Engine chip. No server, no latency, nothing leaving your Mac.
Release the key. Your words are instantly pasted wherever the cursor sits — Notion, Slack, Gmail, Xcode, Terminal, any app at all.
While other voice tools send your audio to remote servers, Jot runs the complete Whisper model locally on Apple's Neural Engine. Your words are processed in RAM and discarded the moment they become text.
A complete offline voice-to-text toolkit that respects your privacy and makes your words smarter.
The Whisper large-v3-turbo model runs entirely on your Mac's Apple Neural Engine. No Wi-Fi needed, no server involved — your voice never touches the internet. Use it on a plane, in a secure facility, anywhere.
WhisperKit accelerates transcription using dedicated silicon. Results arrive before you finish speaking — faster than any cloud API.
Hold Right Option. That's the complete UI. Works in every macOS app — browser, terminal, Figma, Slack, Xcode, anything.
Powered by Whisper large-v3-turbo. OpenAI's most accurate multilingual model, optimised for Apple Silicon via WhisperKit.
Text appears exactly where you're typing. No separate window, no clipboard hijack, no disruption to your workflow.
One download, no monthly fee, no API costs, no usage limits. Your Mac is the server — and you already own it.
Cloud tools charge monthly and process your audio on their servers. Jot doesn't.
