Press a hotkey, say the thing, and Rizzley types it into the app you’re in, live, while you’re still talking. It also reads text aloud, does the math, and keeps your go-to replies on tap. A free dictation app for Mac, from Emorise, with the AI running on your own computer.
Four tricks up
its sleeve.
Pick a trick, then hit the key. This is a mini Rizzley with sample text.

You say
“um the kickoff is on friday actually thursday period uh the budget is up twenty five percent period new paragraph can you confirm question mark”
What lands
The kickoff is on Thursday. The budget is up 25%.
Can you confirm?
Sample text. Filler words, “actually” corrections, “scratch that”, spoken punctuation, numbers, new lines, and numbered lists are handled automatically.
-
Learns your words.
Add names and jargon to your dictionary and they guide the recognizer. Train Word: say a tricky one 3–5 times. Fix a past dictation and Rizzley offers to remember it.
-
A style per app.
Professional in Mail, casual in Slack, technical in your editor, or your own prompt. Rizzley picks the style by the app you’re in.
Uses the optional writing engine
-
Rewrite by voice.
Copy a paragraph, say “make this friendlier”, and the rewrite lands where you’re typing.
Uses the optional writing engine
-
Lands where you left off.
Text goes back into the app you started in, your clipboard comes back afterwards, and if pasting fails, the transcript is kept for you.
The writing engine is a local language model you download once in Settings (1.6–2.4 GB). The clean-up above works without it.
Your Mac does
the thinking.
Speech recognition, text-to-speech, and the writing engine run on your Mac. Your voice is transcribed right there, and your audio stays in memory. Downloading the engines isn’t the same as uploading your work.
- No account
- No telemetry
- No analytics
- No crash reports
One opt-in exception: OpenAI read-aloud with your own key. The honest bit spells it out.
Your voice.
Not their servers.
Cloud dictation apps send your voice to their servers to turn it into text. Rizzley does that job on your Mac.
| Cloud dictation apps | Rizzley | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your voice becomes text | Their servers | Your Mac |
| Your audio | Uploaded to be transcribed | Stays in memory on your Mac |
| No internet? | No dictation | Keeps working once set up |
| Account | Depends on the app | None |
| Telemetry and analytics | Depends on the app | None |
| Price | Depends on the plan | Free. No per-use fee. |
“Cloud dictation apps” means apps that transcribe on their own servers. Some apps offer a local mode too; check theirs.
Free.
No catch.
Well, one.
Your Mac runs the AI, so there’s no cloud bill every time you talk. Emorise covers the rest: building it, maintaining it, signing it, shipping it.
The catch: we’re hoping you like Rizzley enough to check out what else Emorise makes. That’s the whole plan. You don’t have to buy anything else to use it.
- Not a trial
- No subscription

Separate products. They don’t plug into Rizzley, and Rizzley doesn’t need them.
The honest bit.
Specifics, limits, and status. Nothing hidden, just folded.
What leaves your Mac?
- Your voice doesn’t. Speech recognition runs on your Mac and is locked offline in the code; audio stays in memory while it’s transcribed.
- No account, no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, no update checks.
- Setup downloads go the other way: the engines come from GitHub releases on first use (the speech engine is about 148 MB compressed, 390 MB installed), and you download the models once in Settings (the speech model is 713 MB). Every download is checksum-verified. The total size isn’t final.
- One opt-in exception: OpenAI text-to-speech with your own API key. When it’s on, the text you have read aloud goes to OpenAI, and OpenAI bills you.
- Text you dictate into Gmail, Slack, or any other app follows that app’s syncing and privacy rules.
- Logs may record IDs, counts, timings, errors, and which app you dictated into. Never transcript text.
- This privacy model covers Rizzley only, not other Emorise products.
Does it work offline?
- Once it’s set up, yes: dictation, read-aloud, and the writing engine run without an internet connection.
- Setup needs internet to download the engines and models, and OpenAI read-aloud, if you turn it on, needs internet too.
Where do my history and notes live?
- In one local database on your Mac: history, notes, your dictionary, and snippets. You can search it, edit it, and clear it.
- Don’t want a history at all? Switch it off in Settings.
How is it different from the Mac’s built-in Dictation?
- macOS Dictation types what you say. Rizzley also cleans it up, learns your words, writes in a style per app, rewrites on command, reads text aloud, does calculations, and keeps snippets, all from a hotkey, with its own engines running on your Mac.
- If plain dictation is all you’re after, the built-in one may be enough.
Is Rizzley really free?
- The local experience: no trial, no subscription, no per-use fee.
- Optional third-party cloud services you use with your own key are billed by that provider.
- Free doesn’t come with a promise of lifetime updates or personal support.
Which Macs does it run on, and when?
- The first release is for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later, macOS on ARM64). It doesn’t run on Intel Macs, and Windows and Linux aren’t release targets.
- Optimized for English, and the clean-up rules are English-only. Speech recognition also understands 20+ other languages, and read-aloud has voices in 9+. Available internationally.
- Release date, download size, and minimum RAM haven’t been announced.
Is it open source?
- Planned, not released. It depends on a licensing and release audit of dependencies, models, assets, and build instructions.
- Emorise-owned code: MIT is preferred, but not decided.
- eSpeak NG, a bundled dependency, is GPL-3.0-or-later. Models and fonts have their own licenses.
- The Rizzley and Emorise names and logos will be covered by a separate trademark policy.
