For Mac users
TovoType is a local-first, macOS-native dictation app that cleans up your speech before inserting it into any app.
How it works
TovoType floats above any Mac app. Press your shortcut, speak, and watch polished text land where your cursor is.

Why it matters
Built-in dictation is fine for basics. Daily writing needs more: polish before insert, terms that stick, prompts you reuse, rewrite and translate in place, plus history and stats, all without sending voice to the cloud or paying monthly.

Messy speech → polished text: filler, punctuation, lists, and numbers cleaned up before they land
Learns your terms from corrections so product names and jargon stick locally
Reusable voice prompts and spoken file references for real workflows
Selected-text rewrite and translation in any Mac app
Local history and usage stats: private, on-device, always available offline
