About Shepit
Shepit is a Mac dictation app that transcribes speech and inserts the resulting text at the cursor in the app you are using. Users start and stop dictation with a keyboard shortcut, so they can speak into editors, browsers, email, chat, terminals, notes, and other Mac applications without switching to a separate transcription window. An optional AI cleanup feature can remove filler words and repeated phrases, smooth false starts, and adjust punctuation. Shepit advertises support for about 100 spoken languages. The Free plan includes 30 minutes of dictation per month, renewed monthly, and the paid plans provide larger monthly allowances. Shepit requires a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 26 or later. The vendor also provides a browser-based try-it experience; the installed Mac app is the primary product.

Apple Dictation
Apple Dictation is a built-in macOS feature that lets users speak to enter text anywhere they can type. Once Dictation is enabled, it can be started with the Microphone key, a customizable keyboard shortcut, or Start Dictation, then stopped with Escape, the same shortcut, or the Microphone key. On Apple silicon Macs, users can continue typing while they dictate, and Dictation resumes listening after keyboard input stops. Spoken commands can insert emoji, punctuation, new lines, and new paragraphs, while supported languages can automatically add commas, periods, and question marks. Dictation supports text of any length and stops automatically after 30 seconds without detected speech. When macOS is uncertain about a word, it underlines the text so users can choose an alternative or correct it manually. Multiple Dictation languages can be enabled and switched while speaking, and users can select a preferred microphone or let macOS choose automatically.
