IN USE / PRIVATE VOICE

Sotto: Say the word. The rest is forgotten.

Sotto is private voice for the Mac. Hold a key and talk, and the words land in whatever app is in front. It lives in the menu bar, with a companion app for iPhone.

What is notable

  1. Speech is transcribed on the Mac itself, and the audio never leaves it.
  2. A small Focus bar shows when it is listening.
  3. A wake word can hand a request to an assistant, and voice actions that need approval are in review now.

Where it is today

It is a personal tool today, installed by hand.
