Hold fn speak, release — the words are there.

Dictation that answers to no one but you

🔒

Private by design

Speech is transcribed by a local engine running on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no audio ever uploaded — nothing to leak, sell, or subpoena.

⚡️

Instant, everywhere

One global hotkey works in every app and every text field — email, code, chat, documents. Speak naturally; the text lands where your cursor is.

📖

Learns your language

A custom dictionary for your names, jargon, and snippets. Searchable history of everything you've dictated — stored locally, deletable any time.

How it works

Hold the key

Press and hold the hotkey anywhere on your Mac. Segoy starts listening.

Say the words

Speak naturally — punctuation, names, technical terms. The local engine keeps up.

Release

The finished text is inserted right at your cursor, in whatever app you're in.

In Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea, Segoy is the eldest power — the one who spoke the First Word and raised the islands from the sea. Speech that makes things real.

That's the whole idea.

Named in homage to a great book. Built for people who think out loud.

Your voice. Your Mac. Your words.
