Utterfinch فارسی Get early access

Utterfinch

Getting started with Utterfinch

Five minutes from download to your first dictation. Utterfinch is early: Persian and English are the focus, and what you tell us shapes what comes next.

  1. Download and install

    Download Utterfinch from https://utterfinch.com/download, open the file, drag Utterfinch onto Applications, then open it from Applications. It needs macOS 14 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.

    The first time, setup downloads the speech model to your Mac (about 2.5 GB, once). Use Wi-Fi if you can; the progress shows at the bottom of the setup window.

  2. Choose your dictation key

    You hold one key and talk. The default is fn (the globe key); right ⌥ and right ⌘ are there if fn is taken. Let go, and the text is typed where your cursor is.

    Setup step: your dictation key, with fn, right Option and right Command to choose from

    For anything long, tap the key twice to keep listening, then tap once to insert. Esc cancels.

  3. Allow two permissions

    macOS asks once. Microphone is how Utterfinch hears you. Accessibility lets it see your dictation key and type into the app you are using. Open Settings takes you to the right page: switch Utterfinch on, then come back. Utterfinch only listens while your key is held.

    Setup step: Microphone and Accessibility, with Open Settings for the one still to allow

  4. Try it

    Click in any text field, in any app. Hold your key, say a sentence, let go. The text appears at the cursor. Right after it is inserted, the small pill at the top of the screen offers Undo.

  5. Sign in and add your invite code

    Click the Utterfinch mark in the menu bar, choose Open, and go to Account and plan. Continue with Google, or ask for a sign-in link by email.

    The Account and plan screen: Continue with Google, or an email sign-in link

    Then type your code under Invite code and choose Redeem. The plan card shows your new end date. Every account also gets a 3-day Pro trial. Pro means Persian and English in the same sentence, the Clean and Formal styles for each app, and our most accurate speech model. When Pro ends, the free version keeps working: Persian on your Mac, with your history and vocabulary intact.

  6. Tell us what you think

    In Settings, choose Send feedback…. It opens an email to [email protected] with the app version, your macOS version and your plan. It never includes your text or audio. You can also just reply to your invitation email: it reaches us.

    Settings: Send feedback, Acknowledgements and Show setup again

  • Your browser blocks the download. Open https://utterfinch.com/download with the https:// in front.
