Utter is a voice-to-text tool designed for Mac and iPhone that enables users to convert spoken words into clear, polished text across any application where typing is possible. By leveraging dictation, it aims to accelerate writing speed, claiming up to four times the speed of traditional typing. Utter is intended for users who wish to write more efficiently by speaking naturally, whether composing emails, notes, summaries, or other documents.
Key features include the ability to dictate in any app with a global keyboard shortcut to start and stop dictation. Users can hold to talk, cancel instantly, and paste their last transcript without interrupting their workflow. The platform automatically inserts transcribed text at the cursor location. Utter maintains a searchable voice history, saving and syncing every recording and transcript across Mac and iPhone, and allows users to replay original audio for review or accuracy. Its meeting transcription capabilities offer automatic speaker separation, the ability to rename and merge speakers, and generate summaries, decisions, and action items from meetings.
Utter supports over 50 languages and can translate between them. It also provides file transcription, converting audio and video files into text either manually or automatically from designated folders. Users can summarize content from links, including YouTube, PDFs, websites, and podcast RSS feeds. Built-in writing tools allow rewriting, polishing, summarizing, or changing the tone of text, and users can create custom tools accessible via keyboard shortcuts. The tool enables auto-export of transcripts as Markdown, text, or subtitle files, organized by user preferences, and supports custom replacements for names, jargon, and phrases to improve transcription accuracy.
The tool processes audio on-device, allowing for offline use and ensuring that audio data remains private by default. Utter does not require users to create an account. It is available for download on both iPhone and Mac, with a free version offered. Utter is positioned as an AI-powered dictation and transcription solution for individuals seeking faster, more flexible, and private voice-to-text workflows.
