Amical

Amical is an open source AI dictation app that turns speech into formatted text in whatever application is in focus. Rather than producing a raw transcript, it reads the context of the app being used and shapes the output to suit it, so a dictated passage becomes a professional email in Gmail, a casual post on social media, a Slack message or a prompt for a coding assistant. It is built for people who write a lot and want to do more of it by voice: developers, knowledge workers and anyone who finds typing slow. Users can choose between cloud models and local models that run entirely on the device for privacy, add a custom vocabulary so jargon, product names and proper nouns are recognized, create custom keyboard shortcuts and voice commands, and dictate in more than 100 languages, including mixed language dictation. Desktop apps run on Mac and Windows, with iPhone and Android apps listed alongside them. The company states that it does not retain data or train models on user content. The Free plan costs $0 and includes unlimited local dictation on unlimited devices, 2,000 words a week of cloud dictation, custom vocabulary, AI formatting and integrations. Premium is shown at $7 per month billed annually at $84 a year, while the plan comparison table lists it at $10 per month; it adds unlimited cloud dictation, shared vocabulary, team management and email support. Enterprise is custom priced and adds private model hosting, custom models, ultra low latency, SSO and SAML, centralized billing and priority support, with SOC 2 listed as in progress. Because the local models are free without a word limit, the paid tier matters mainly for people who prefer the cloud models or need team features.
