Try it
Hold, talk, let go
Hold the button below (or the space bar) while the sentence plays, then let go. Quoth tidies it up and types it into the app in front. Switch apps in the dock: the style follows the app.
This is a demo with prepared sentences. It doesn't use your microphone, and nothing leaves this page.
The app
Look around Quoth
This is a clickable copy of Quoth's main window, filled with example data. Change settings, add words to the dictionary, pick a style: your dictations from the demo above show up in History, and your dictionary and style changes apply to them.
Everything you change here stays in this page and is gone when you reload.
Install
Ready in about ten minutes
No Terminal, no technical knowledge. The step-by-step guide walks you through every screen.
Download
Quoth.dmg (about 15 MB). Open it and drag Quoth into Applications.
Allow it once
macOS blocks Quoth the first time. Click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
Get the models
Quoth picks the right size for your Mac (3 to 10 GB) and downloads it in the background.
Three permissions
Microphone, Accessibility and Input Monitoring. Then hold Fn and talk.
Why the extra step?
Apple charges developers €99 every year before macOS opens their apps without asking. Quoth is free and I don't earn anything from it, so I publish it without paying that fee. The only cost is one extra click for you, the first time.
Is it safe?
- Open source: anyone can read all of its code on GitHub.
- Signed: every release and every update carries the same signature.
- Private: it works offline and sends nothing anywhere, unless you choose a cloud service yourself.
