Overview
It's not the email you're avoiding. It's the typing. So say it instead, the way you'd leave a voice note, ums and all, and a clean version lands where you're typing. Still your words. Just tidier. Your audio stays on your Mac. The cleanup happens in the cloud and only gets the text. Dictation is free, your first 5,000 words of cleanup are free, then it's $6.99 a month or $199 once.
Pricing: Free dictation plus your first 5,000 cleanup words free (one time). Then $6.99 a month or $199 once.
Minimum macOS: 12.0 (Monterey)
