Hex is a macOS application that converts your voice to text: press-and-hold a global hotkey to record, and it transcribes on-device and pastes the result wherever you're typing. It uses Parakeet TDT v3 (via FluidAudio) or WhisperKit for local transcription and is built with Swift Composable Architecture and SwiftUI.
Use cases
- dictate text anywhere on macOS with a hotkey
- transcribe voice to text locally without the cloud
- paste spoken words into any app
- voice typing on Apple Silicon Macs
- lock recording mode for long dictation
- choose between Parakeet and Whisper transcription models
When to choose
- you want fast, private, on-device voice dictation on macOS
- you use an Apple Silicon Mac and want a hotkey-driven transcription tool
- you prefer open-source alternatives to commercial dictation tools
When to avoid
- you need Windows or Linux support
- you have an Intel Mac
- you need cloud-based transcription with speaker diarization or file batch processing
