What does Epilude do?

Epilude is a Mac app that converts your spoken words into polished, formatted text in real time. Press a hotkey, start talking, and the text appears wherever your cursor is — in Gmail, Slack, Notion, Figma, or almost any other app on your Mac. It's built for people who think faster than they type and want to get their ideas down without the friction of a keyboard.

What sets Epilude apart is how it cleans up your natural speech. You can ramble, pause, and restart — the app removes filler words, fixes grammar, and formats the output into something that reads like you wrote it. It also reads the context of the app you're using and adjusts the tone automatically: formal for email, casual for iMessage, structured for project management tools. Epilude supports dictation in over 30 languages and can switch between them on the fly. If you're privacy-conscious, Local Mode runs the entire transcription and cleanup on your Mac, with no audio ever leaving the device.

Epilude is ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time writing in a professional setting: leaders clearing their inbox between meetings, lawyers drafting case notes, content creators turning spoken ideas into drafts, developers writing documentation, and students taking notes. The basic workflow is simple — hold a key, speak, release — but the polish it gives your text saves significant time over typing and editing.
