Free beta for Apple Silicon

Hold a key, say it, done.

Foni is voice typing for Mac. Clean, corrected text lands at your cursor about a second after you let go. Nothing leaves your machine.

1

Hold

Press and hold Right ⌥ in any app. Tap it instead to toggle. Works over fullscreen windows.

2

Talk

Ums, false starts, “scratch that”. Say “new paragraph”. Speak like a person, not a printer.

3

Let go

Clean text pastes at your cursor. Your clipboard is put back the way it was.

Speed

Faster than reaching for the keyboard.

Both models stay loaded and warm the whole time. The correction model even remembers your context between dictations, so it never re-reads it.

Measured on an M4 Pro. Your Mac may swim at a slightly different speed.

Offline

Your voice never leaves the tank.

Transcription and correction both run on your Mac. Unplug the internet and Foni keeps working exactly the same.

Learning

Fix a word twice. Never again.

After each paste, Foni watches what you edit. Correct the same mishearing twice and it proposes a fix. One click and that name, product or acronym is caught for good.

Everything it learns lives in a markdown file. Read it, edit it, put it in git.
