0.9.0 · 2026-09-28

First public beta. English only; needs a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later.

  • Hold a shortcut, speak, and release: Owscribe transcribes on your Mac and pastes into the field you were in, or copies the text when it can't paste.
  • Recognition runs entirely on your Mac, with the Qwen3-ASR speech model, downloaded once (about 2.5 GB).
  • Projects give names and terms their right spelling, applied when Owscribe detects the project from your window or when you choose it from the menu bar.
  • Works without the Accessibility permission, copying instead of pasting.
  • Dictations keeps every recording and transcript on your Mac, with playback, retry, and search, until you delete them.
  • Updates arrive through the app itself.
