Spark: private dictation & meeting notes for Mac
Hold a key, speak, and your words appear in any app. Everything is transcribed on the Mac, so your voice is never sent anywhere.
macOSCore MLOn-device AISpeech RecognitionParakeet
A menu-bar app for Apple silicon Macs. Hold the shortcut, speak, release, and the text appears at your cursor in email, chat, documents, tickets or code editors. In a call, Spark records the microphone and the call audio and writes down who said what, followed by a summary with decisions and action items. No bot joins the meeting.
Speech recognition runs locally with NVIDIA's Parakeet models on Core ML. There's no cloud, no telemetry, and it works offline once a model is downloaded.
