Dictate anywhere. Privately.
A lightweight desktop app for macOS and Windows. Press a hotkey, speak, and text appears in any application. Transcription happens entirely on your device — your voice never leaves your machine.
Built for speed and privacy
On-Device Transcription
Powered by open-source models downloaded once to your machine. After setup, transcription is fully offline — your voice never touches a server.
Works Everywhere
Global hotkey works in any app. Press, speak, release — text appears where your cursor is.
English, Swedish & Norwegian
Full support for English, Swedish, and Norwegian transcription. Switch languages in settings with a single click.
Transcribe Files
Drop in an audio file and get a transcript back. Supports common formats like MP3, WAV, and M4A — all processed locally on your machine.
Full CLI Support
Everything the app can do is available from the command line. Transcribe files, change settings, and integrate Sagascript into your own scripts and workflows.
Free & Open Source
No subscriptions, no hidden costs. Sagascript is open source and free forever — review the code, contribute, or fork it.
Your voice stays yours.
Sagascript is 100% local. Your voice never leaves your computer. Here's what that means in practice:
Your voice never touches disk
Live dictation audio stays in memory — captured, transcribed, and discarded without ever being written to disk.
Offline after setup
An initial download fetches the open-source transcription model. After that, local mode makes zero network requests — fully offline, fully private.
No telemetry or tracking
No analytics, no usage tracking, no data collection of any kind. The app doesn't phone home.
Only 3 permissions
Microphone (to hear you), Accessibility (to paste text), and Input Monitoring (for the global hotkey). That's it. No Full Disk Access, no Location, no Camera.
Don't take our word for it — review the source.
