# Dictation Tool for Mac > The one AI tool that I am now using daily **Published by:** [...Deliberate Ellipsis...](https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/) **Published on:** 2024-10-17 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/dictation-tool-for-mac ## Content As AI continues to reshape our work, I've found an app I now use daily. It's a game-changer for productivity: MacWhisper. Key benefits I've experienced: Powerful dictation capabilities Efficient transcription using local models that are multi-lingual Global transcription for anywhere on your machine. Transcribe YouTube videos by simply entering the URL. What sets it apart? It's simple to use and runs the models locally - no cloud required. With that said, you can use one of your API keys from OpenAI and/or Anthropic. You can dictate a brainstorm, and it will organize and clean it up for you in-app. I was a DragonDictate customer years ago, and there's no comparison. No affiliation - just sharing a tool I've found incredibly useful. https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper ## Publication Information - [...Deliberate Ellipsis...](https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@carlosace.eth): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/@_CarlosAce_): Follow on Twitter ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/dictation-tool-for-mac): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@carlosace.eth/dictation-tool-for-mac/collectors): See who has collected this post
