Amical is an open-source, local-first AI dictation app for macOS and Windows that transcribes speech with Whisper and enhances it with LLMs (local via Ollama or cloud). It auto-formats dictated text contextually for the focused app and includes note-taking, custom vocabulary, and MCP integrations.

Use cases

  • dictate text instead of typing
  • transcribe voice to text offline
  • take meeting notes with voice
  • write emails and messages by voice
  • run speech-to-text locally for privacy
  • dictate code comments and jira tickets

When to choose

  • you want private, offline dictation with local Whisper models
  • you need context-aware formatting across different apps
  • you prefer open source and self-hosted AI tooling

When to avoid

  • you need Linux or web-only dictation
  • you require enterprise SSO/SAML on the free tier
  • you want a fully cloud-managed transcription service
