DuckType
DuckType is an app for macOS and Windows (and soon mobile) that combines dictation and meeting transcription. It’s privacy-focused and not VC-backed, and 4x+ cheaper than alternatives like Wispr Flow, Willow and Granola, and designed to be genuinely user-friendly, not just a wrapper around a speech API. For people who want fast, accurate dictation without compromising on privacy.

I built it after developing RSI from typing too much. Less than two months later I had median nerve surgery, which made accurate fast typing harder, so the app became even more essential to me personally. I now use it daily, including to write prompts for Claude Code and to message people.
