Utter

Utter is an AI voice-to-text tool for Mac and iPhone. It turns speech into polished text in any app where typing is possible, including Slack, Gmail, and documents, and it is presented as a way to write faster by speaking naturally.

Its core functions center on dictation and text cleanup. Utter supports a global shortcut to start and stop dictation from anywhere, and it can hold to talk, cancel instantly, and paste the last transcript without breaking flow. Text is inserted at the cursor, and the product includes searchable voice history with saved, synced recordings and transcripts. It can replay original audio, search past transcripts, and keep everything in sync across Mac and iPhone.

The tool also includes modes for rewriting text in different tones or formats, such as email, notes, summaries, or chat. It offers speaker-separated meeting transcripts that can be renamed, merged, and fixed, plus automatic meeting summaries, decisions, and next steps. Other supported functions include on-device processing for offline dictation, 50+ languages with translation, file transcription for audio and video files, transcription from folders, summarizing content from YouTube, PDFs, websites, and podcast RSS feeds, built-in writing tools, custom tools accessed by keyboard shortcut, auto-export as Markdown, text, or subtitles, and custom replacements for names, jargon, and phrases.

Utter is available to download for iPhone and Mac. It is described as private by default, with audio staying on the device, and it requires no account. The page also offers a free start option.
