Golosok

Golosok is a free, local application for Mac that converts audio into text. Key features include: • Offline voice dictation • Instant text insertion at cursor • Local transcription of audio files (MP3, MP4, WAV) • Enhanced privacy for sensitive information • Replacement for standard Apple dictation This powerful tool leverages the Sber GigaAM v3 neural network on Apple Silicon, operating entirely without an internet connection, subscriptions, or API calls. It allows users to dictate posts, emails, and code with high accuracy, understanding complex terminology and reducing typos. The application also supports transcription of recordings from platforms like Zoom and Yandex.Telemos, processing audio files of any size locally. Golosok ensures complete data privacy, as all audio and transcribed text are processed 100% on-device. This eliminates the risk of data leaks, making it ideal for confidential meetings, personal notes, and sensitive work discussions. Users can dictate messages or transcribe podcasts anytime, anywhere, even without internet access, providing a full-fledged offline transcription capability. It is perfect for content creators, writers, developers, and professionals who require a secure, efficient, and private speech-to-text solution on their Mac. For specific browser video formats like WebM, an optional FFmpeg decoder can be installed for broader compatibility.
