Cursay

System-wide desktop dictation with a local-first workflow.

Visit CursaySource and platform guides

Native dictation software for Ubuntu, macOS and Windows. Local speech recognition remains available without an account; an optional managed-cloud path complements it. Platform packaging and release maturity differ: consult the product site and platform guides for current downloads.

Problem
Dictation should work in the text field a person already uses, with a choice of local processing or a managed service.
Build
Desktop speech recognition, system-wide shortcuts and native platform integration. Local dictation and optional cloud use have separate configuration and operating requirements.
Outcome
An Ubuntu release and native macOS and Windows implementations with platform-specific distribution paths. The product documentation identifies current installers, build artifacts and source instructions.
