Local. Private. Instant.
SonoScript turns your voice into clean, finished text — right inside the app you're working in. No copying, no switching, no waiting. Just speak and move on. Completely local on your Mac. Your voice, your data — yours only.
More than dictation
Most dictation tools give you raw text. SonoScript goes further: it learns your word choices, auto-corrects technical terms and inserts the result exactly where you need it — no detours.
Dictate into your browser, editor, chat or email — whichever app is in focus.
One shortcut starts recording. From anywhere on macOS, instantly ready.
SonoScript remembers your corrections and improves with every use.
Every dictation is saved. Search, copy or reuse anytime.
Features
SonoScript was built for people who think fast and don't feel like typing slowly. Every feature exists to eliminate a step.
You're writing in Slack and want to fire off a quick reply? Hold the key, speak, let go — the text is there. Whether it's Notion, VS Code, Safari or your email client: SonoScript is instantly ready without you switching a single window.
Imagine dictating a reply and it appears exactly where your cursor is blinking. No in-between window, no copy-paste, no extra step. You speak into your document, your email or your chat window — as if you had typed it.
Your last name keeps getting mangled? Correct it once — SonoScript remembers forever. With every dictation the recognition gets better, all by itself. Technical terms, names, abbreviations: after a short while SonoScript knows your vocabulary better than any autocorrect.
Say "signature" and your full email signature appears. Say "address" and your company address is right there. You can store as many snippets as you like — for standard replies, links or entire paragraphs. Set them up once, recall them by voice forever.
A German briefing in the morning, an English email at noon, a French message in the evening — without switching apps. SonoScript speaks your languages and those of your clients. Just switch the language and keep talking.
The speech model is optimized so lean that once loaded it lives on your Mac — no cloud, no internet connection. On a plane, in a dead zone, at a café with no Wi-Fi: SonoScript just works. Your voice never leaves your device.
Audio Transcription
Transcribe meeting recordings, convert voice memos to text or turn interviews into written transcripts: drag the file into SonoScript and read the finished result seconds later. All speech recognition runs offline on your Mac — no cloud, no upload.
Automatically transcribe Zoom recordings, Teams calls or phone conversations. Hours of meetings become searchable text — locally and without third-party services.
Convert WhatsApp, iMessage or Signal voice messages to text. No more listening for minutes — just read, copy and keep working.
Automatically transcribe long interview recordings or podcast episodes. The transcript is instantly searchable and ready for further processing.
How it works
From thought to finished text in seconds — not minutes. Here's what it looks like in practice:
Hold your key or use double-tap for longer dictations. Works in any app, on any desktop.
Talk the way you think. SonoScript understands 11 languages and adapts to the context — whether it's a meeting note or a code comment.
Your dictionary, text snippets and the selected mode make sure punctuation, technical terms and style are right from the start.
The finished text appears directly in the active field. In the background, SonoScript saves everything to history — and gets better with every correction.
Languages
Language should never be an obstacle — not when dictating, not when using the app. SonoScript understands 11 languages, shows you everything in your native tongue and translates on the fly if you want.
Every menu, every setting, every notification — in your language. No second-guessing, no looking things up. As if the app was built just for you.
Whether it's German, English or Japanese: you talk, SonoScript understands. No switching in your head, no dictionary. Just speak in whatever language the thought arrives in.
One dedicated shortcut, one spoken sentence, and the text lands in English in your email. Perfect for international clients, support tickets or documentation — without having to translate yourself.
Performance
SonoScript uses the Neural Engine on your Mac to process speech in real time. The newer your chip, the faster the result — but even an M1 delivers text before you've finished the thought.

FAQ
No. SonoScript processes everything locally on your Mac. No audio data leaves your device, no text ends up on third-party servers. What you say stays with you.
Yes. SonoScript works anywhere you can enter text — browser, email, messenger, code editor, notes. If your cursor blinks there, SonoScript can type there.
Not always at first. But once you correct a word, SonoScript remembers it. Your personal dictionary grows with every dictation — and the results get noticeably better.
Absolutely. SonoScript supports 11 dictation languages. You can even speak in German and have the text output in English automatically — ideal for international communication.
No. The speech models run entirely on your Mac. SonoScript works just as well on a plane, at a café with no Wi-Fi or at home with a shaky connection.
SonoScript runs best on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and newer) — that's where it uses the Neural Engine for maximum speed. It also works on Intel Macs, though we recommend the smaller speech models there for a smooth experience.
No. SonoScript is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no hidden fees. Your license lets you use the app on up to three Macs at the same time or share it with friends.
Of course — nobody likes buying a pig in a poke. SonoScript comes with 20 minutes of free dictation time so you can see how the app feels in your day-to-day. No account required, no credit card, no catch. If it fits, you buy. If not, no hard feelings.
Stop typing when speaking is enough. SonoScript turns your Mac into the best listener you've ever had — private, fast and ready anywhere.
