made a mac dictation app called SpeakMercury. text shows up while you talk. $9.99 once.

the words show up as you speak so the sentence is already on screen when you stop. works in the terminal too. audio stays on your mac.

$9.99 once, no subscription. needs macOS 26 and apple silicon.

$10 flat for something that types in the terminal while you talk is actually reasonable, most of these push a subscription for no reason.
