Does Dictation Work Offline on Mac?

Yes! Speechify offers on-device dictation using on-device dictation models.

Please follow the steps below to Dictate while offline.

  1. Open the Speechify app

  2. Click Dictation in the left sidebar

  3. Under Available Models, download the Speechify On Device model

  4. Once the download is complete, open the Dictation Engine dropdown and select Speechify On Device

Once the on-device model is downloaded, dictation will work fully offline. If you do not have the Speechify on-device model downloaded, Speechify may temporarily use Apple Dictation while offline.
