Do you need a dictation app at all?

Apple Dictation is enough if

you dictate a line now and then in Notes or Messages. It is free and already on your Mac.

Contextli fits if

you write all day in email, Slack and the browser, and you are tired of editing what you said.

Questions

Is this a separate app?

No. This site is made by the team behind Contextli, and the app it describes is Contextli for Mac.

How is it different from Apple Dictation?

Apple Dictation types your words as you said them. Contextli removes fillers, fixes grammar and formats the text for the app you are in, such as an email or a Slack message.

How much does it cost?

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, which asks for a card. Plans start at $9 a month or $45 a year.

Does it work offline?

Transcription can run on your Mac with the built-in Whisper option. Cleanup uses the cloud by default. On Pro and above it can run locally through Ollama or LM Studio.

Which Macs does it run on?

Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. There is a separate download for each.
