Actually private by design.
Most voice apps say they are private and still send your audio to a server.
Transcribed on your Mac.
Using its Neural Engine and GPU.
No account.
Nothing you say ties back to you.
Works with Wi-Fi off.
After setup, dictation and meeting capture work offline.
Your audio and transcripts are files.
You keep and delete them.
What users are saying.
“I record my Google Meet calls with Orca now. No bot joins, and I get a transcript afterward. Super straightforward.”
Damon Ellis@damonellis“I tried VoiceInk too. I just like how Orca dictation feels in Slack. It's fast and the text doesn't need editing.”
Mina Park@parkmina“why was I paying monthly for Wispr Flow when I could just pay once for Orca lol. i use it with Claude Code every day and it works great.”
Ben Talbot@bentlb“I dictate way more than I type now. Orca turns the ramble into something readable without me fixing every sentence.”
Rafa Moreno@rafamakes“I used Typeless before. Orca feels faster in Cursor and still gets the words right.”
Iris Tran@iris03“I'm pretty privacy conscious. I don't want every sentence I dictate going to a server. Orca runs locally and that's a big reason I use it.”
mothu/moth_on_keys“I used Superwhisper for a while. Orca is just as accurate for me, and I only had to pay once.”
Kavi Shah@kshah“i use it with Codex pretty much every day now. talking through what i want is way easier than typing it all out.”
niko@n1ko“I record meetings with it almost every day. The speaker labels are good and my agent can read the transcript afterward.”

Before you buy.
What is included in the free trial?
2,000 words for dictation, plus three Notetaker recordings (including voice notes) with no duration cutoff. Words count from successful transcripts before rewriting. A recording that crosses the word limit finishes normally. Your saved recordings and transcripts remain available after the trial.
Which Macs can run Orca One?
Orca One requires an Apple silicon Mac and macOS 15 or later. Try it free to check how it works with your Mac, your voice, and your meetings.
Do I need an internet connection?
You need internet to download the app and models, activate your purchase, and get updates. Once set up and activated, dictation and meeting capture work offline. Optional connected services may need internet and have their own terms.
Are future updates included?
Yes. All future Orca One updates are included in your purchase. There is no recurring fee to keep using the app.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
One license activates one Mac. An additional Mac needs its own license.
What happens when I replace my Mac?
Contact support to move your license. There is no self-service transfer. A normal app reinstall on the same Mac keeps your activation; replacing the Mac or erasing its device identity needs support.
What is the refund policy?
Refunds are handled according to applicable law and our support determination. Try the free trial before purchasing, and contact us if you have a purchase problem.
