Questions & answers.

Does it send my voice to the cloud?

Nope! We take pride in that Onit's Voice Dictation is fully local. However, if you choose to use QuickEdit, some remote processing is invovled.

How is Onit different to Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper or Willow Voice?

Onit Dictate runs entirely on-device, so we made it free. No servers, no subscription, completely free!

How is Onit different to Mac's native dictation?

Transcripts in Onit get processed by a local AI model to remove unwanted filler words like "um" or "like". Onit can also correct grammar mistakes and improves over time to learn your unique vocabulary!

Do I need an account?

Yes, signup is required! You can choose between Google Signup or Email + Magic Link.

Where can I use Onit Voice Dictation?

Anywhere on your Mac! That includes all your apps and websites.

Is there a dictation shortcut?

Yes we've set up a universal hotkey for Onit dictation. It's CapsLock by default but you can change it to anything you'd like!

Can I hide the handle at the edge of my screen?

Absolutely! The handle is there as a reminder of how to launch Onit, but feel free to hide it in Settings once you've memorized the shortcut.

Does Onit come in dark and light mode?

Yes, you can choose your preference in Settings :)
