More than dictation.
AI that understands you.

For basic transcription, Apple Dictation is functional. But it lacks AI enhancement, custom vocabulary, and reliable offline privacy. Professionals who write long documents, use specialized terminology, or handle sensitive content typically find it falls short.

Apple Dictation has a local processing option, but it offers lower accuracy and must be explicitly enabled in System Settings. The default mode sends audio to Apple's servers. Amnis is fully offline by default — no settings to change, no trade-off in accuracy.

Amnis adds AI-powered text enhancement on top of transcription: automatic punctuation, context-aware corrections, custom vocabulary, and style cleanup. It also works via a global overlay in any application. Apple Dictation is raw transcription — it types what you say without intelligence applied.

Yes. Amnis uses OpenAI Whisper, one of the most accurate speech recognition models available, combined with AI post-processing to correct errors and improve output quality. Apple Dictation uses basic ASR without correction or enhancement.

Yes, by default. Apple Dictation uses cloud processing unless you enable the local offline mode in System Settings. Even with local mode enabled, accuracy is lower. Amnis processes everything locally with full accuracy — there is no cloud mode.
