Dictation for the Mac

Type at the speed of thought.

Press a key and talk. Everything you dictate is formatted cleanly, punctuated correctly, spelled perfectly, and appears wherever your cursor is.

  1. Hold a key
  2. Talk
  3. Let go. It’s typed.

Demonstration: a floating panel shows Roar listening, then a two-sentence reply is typed into an email compose window at about 150 words a minute while a counter shows the rate.

Thanks for the notes on the draft. The fee section is back to this year's numbers, and the redraft is with you by Thursday.

24 words in 9 seconds. Typed, the same words take about 29.

Type vs Talk

You talk three times faster than you type.

Why type at 50 words per minute when you can dictate at 150? It's not even a competition. Try it for yourself.

Demonstration: the same fifty-word paragraph is revealed twice, at about 50 words a minute as typing and about 150 words a minute as talking. Talking finishes at twenty seconds, typing at one minute.

A real example. Typing vs Talking.

Thanks for the notes on the draft. I have taken the fee section back to this year's numbers and added the signature block for the Toronto entity. Two questions remain on the indemnity language and I would rather settle them on a call than in another round of tracked changes.

Same paragraph, 3 times faster.

What will you do with all that extra time?

Context-based formatting

Say it once. Get an email, a post, or a prompt.

Roar formats your words based on where you're typing, in your voice. It doesn't paraphrase or generate AI slop.

Demonstration: a sentence is transcribed as it was said, then the same words are shown shaped for an email, a post and a prompt, one window at a time.

A post gets a hook, short paragraphs, a closing question

Our new pricing goes live Monday.

On an annual plan? Nothing changes until renewal. You keep the old rate.

Questions? Support has the answers written up already. Start there.

What would you want to know first?

A prompt gets the task, the facts as a list, the constraints

Draft a short announcement to customers about a pricing change.

• The new pricing goes live Monday

Plain tone, no hype, under 80 words.

Roar only reads the name of the app you’re in, never the actual content.

Choose smart formatting for context-aware typing, or plain transcription to get text exactly as you said it.

Privacy matters

Your notes never leave your Mac.

All dictations made with Roar are saved only on your Mac. They are never stored on our servers.

Privacy promise one

Your notes stay on your Mac. They live in a local database on your machine and nowhere else. If you delete Roar and log in again with the same account on this Mac, your notes will still be there.

Privacy promise two

Roar is not always listening. It hears nothing until you press the hotkey. Then your voice goes to Roar's server, is transcribed, and is deleted. It's never stored.

Roar only listens when you press the hotkey.

It never reads your keystrokes, and never reads the content on your screen.
