# TinMic

> TinMic is a private Mac dictation app. Press a global hotkey, speak naturally, and TinMic turns speech into text in the app you are already using. Speech-to-text runs locally on the Mac. TinMic does not upload microphone audio for transcription or collect transcripts produced by the app.

TinMic is best understood as live system-wide dictation for Mac, not primarily a meeting recorder, file transcription tool, browser extension, or cloud speech-to-text API.
