Dictation for people who do not think in one language. Hold a key, talk, and the words arrive where the cursor is — switching mid-paragraph, without a setting.
01
Other dictation software picks a language when you start and holds it to the end. Say one sentence in another and it renders that sentence in the first — or translates it without telling you.
Holos identifies each sentence on its own, because a pause is where a bilingual actually changes language.

02
Every language below has been tested switching in and out of English and got every sentence right. Others advertise ninety-nine and let you find out which ones work.
03
Recognition happens on the machine. Audio is never written to disk and never transmitted. No account, no telemetry, no licence check-in — point a firewall at it and see for yourself.
A fraction of what cloud dictation subscriptions cost, because there is no server to pay for.

Fourteen days free, no card and no account. One licence covers every Mac you personally use, with thirty days to change your mind.

Holos is used every day — it wrote most of this page — but it is early. Recognition on a microphone that sits far from you, such as the one in a desktop display, is noticeably worse than on one close to your mouth. And while languages are identified correctly, transcription quality is still improving.
If something is wrong, write to me. A real person reads it, and at this stage your report changes what gets built next.
