Offline dictation for Mac that keeps up with real work
THOHT is a voice dictation app for Mac and iPhone (in Beta). On Mac it runs on-device using Apple Silicon acceleration; on iPhone it uses Pro cloud processing — so you can dictate emails, notes, prompts, and messages without waiting on a remote service.
How it works

Transcribe locally on your Mac
THOHT runs speech recognition on-device, using the Neural Engine for fast, private transcription without sending audio to the cloud.
Refine, translate, and paste
Use Pro features to polish text, translate it, or apply custom prompts before THOHT pastes the result back into your workflow.
