Mumble
Mumble offers Mac dictation and a separate AI note-taking product. Its dictation app inserts finished sentences at your cursor across Mac apps, including while offline. The distinction between the products matters for access: Dictation has a download, while the Mumble AI page says its iPhone notes app is available and its meeting feature is coming soon.
Dictation across Mac apps
Mumble describes dictation as private and on-device. You speak into the app you are using, and Mumble places the sentence where your cursor is. That makes it relevant to writing messages or longer text without moving the draft into a separate transcription editor.
The Free plan includes unlimited dictation without a word cap. It also lists more than 40 languages, mixed-language speech within a sentence, and a personal dictionary. The pricing page says Free runs on your Mac without a login. These details apply to Dictation; they should not be read as a privacy statement for every feature under the Mumble name.
The one-time Pro upgrade
The Dictation pricing page lists a $0 Free plan and an early-bird Pro price of $50 for lifetime access, with $100 shown as the original price. Pro is a one-time purchase with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The free download starts with a 60-minute Pro trial.
Pro adds on-device AI cleanup and text transformations, custom prompts, and a dictionary that learns your words. Voice actions include GIFs, web search, and asking AI. The plan also lists bringing your own AI API keys. Review which feature you intend to use before treating local dictation as a guarantee about a connected AI service.
Notes and forthcoming meeting capture
Mumble AI describes a canvas for continuing to work with notes and spoken content. Its page says Note is on iPhone today and Meeting is coming soon, with a Mac app also marked coming soon. The advertised meeting workflow produces notes, decisions, and next steps without a bot in the call. Treat that workflow as forthcoming when choosing a tool for a meeting you need to capture now.
