Amical is an open-source AI dictation tool designed to turn spoken words into text across desktop applications. It works by letting users dictate through push-to-talk or hands-free controls, then inserting the transcription into the currently focused app, such as an email composer, chat window, editor, or notes application. Amical supports both local and cloud-based AI processing. Users can download Whisper models to run dictation directly on their devices, enabling offline use and keeping data on their own hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A notable feature is AI formatting, which restructures raw speech differently depending on where the text is being entered. For example, it can format dictation as an email, a short chat message, structured notes, or plain text. Amical also supports automatic language detection, custom vocabulary, snippets for repeated phrases, voice-first notes, and personalization settings for different apps and websites. Its newer Draft feature can generate or rewrite text from spoken instructions before inserting it into another application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amical is particularly useful for people who want faster voice-based writing while retaining the option to process speech locally. It currently supports macOS and Windows, with mobile availability developing across iPhone and Android.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
