Speech to text · Mac & iPhone
Hold a key, speak into any app, and watch clean text appear in milliseconds. No windows to switch, nothing to paste.
Mail, Slack, Xcode, WhatsApp, that one weird legacy tool — if a cursor blinks there, Doggy types there. Hold the key, talk, release. Done.

Umms, ahhs and false starts are stripped out before they land. Punctuation goes where it should. What you meant, not what you mumbled.
Works in 108 languages, with hardware echo cancellation so it hears you — not your speakers.
You said:
uhh can we umm move the the the release to friday i mean thursday
It typed:
Can we move the release to Thursday?
Say “my email” and your address types itself. Build snippets for anything you repeat, and a dictionary for the names and jargon it should never misspell.
Try it — tap a phrase you'd say:
It types:
Attach a writing style to an app — or to a hotkey. Say it once, and it lands the way that app expects. Same voice, right register, zero editing.
You said: “can we push the release to thursday the build is not ready”
Why we built it
Our hands were too slow for our heads. Ideas arrived at talking speed and left at typing speed — so one weekend we taught the Mac to listen.
Dictation Doggy is still made the same way: a tiny indie team, no growth department, no ad budget. Just an app we use all day, every day — and keep making faster.
When you email support, the person who wrote the code replies.
Geet — maker of Dictation Doggy
Who it's for
Dictate commit messages, PR summaries, and code comments without leaving the keyboard's home row — because you never touched it.
Great prompts are long. Speak a whole paragraph of context into ChatGPT or Claude in the time it takes to type a sentence.
Clear your inbox and your unread DMs on a walk. Doggy keeps the tone right for each app.
The math
That gap is your day. Doggy closes it — and the text lands in milliseconds, so it never feels like waiting.
A 300-word email: ~7.5 min typed → ~2 min spoken. Every time.
Featherlight
Some AI dictation apps sit near 10% CPU all day and hold ~900 MB of memory. Doggy is a menu-bar app, not a second operating system.
Roughly 9× less memory and a rounding error of CPU. Your battery will notice. Measured on our own Macs during everyday use.
Polyglot
Doggy detects the language you're speaking automatically — and regional accents are first-class citizens, from Egyptian Arabic to Swiss German.
iPhone · coming soon
The Dictation Doggy keyboard will work inside every iPhone app — same cleanup, same snippets, same dictionary, synced with your Mac. It's in the works right now.
Small on purpose
A menu-bar app, not a platform. It sits quietly until you hold the key.
Audio goes in, text comes out. No profiles, no ads, nothing sold.
No roadmap committee. Bugs and ideas go straight to the person who ships.
We dictate our own emails, docs and code with it — daily. You'll feel that.

New features, the iPhone keyboard rollout, and the occasional behind-the-scenes note from an indie app being built in public. No spam — we don't have a marketing team to send it.
