Lispr: Talk in yours, land in theirs
Lispr is a macOS utility that combines voice dictation and real-time translation into a single gesture. Hold the Option key to dictate in your native language. Add the Control key mid-speech to translate into a language of your choice. The typed result appears at your cursor in any app, with no copy-paste, no window switches, and no extra UI.
Key Features

- Works anywhere: Slack, Notes, Terminal, Figma. If a cursor blinks, Lispr types there.
- 99 speech recognition languages: powered by Whisper large-v3-turbo, with automatic language detection.
- 32 target translation languages: covering major world languages.
- Custom vocabulary: add product names, code identifiers, or personal terms.
- Clipboard-safe: types your text, then restores what you had copied.
- Privacy-first: no account, no sign-up, and your audio is never stored.
- Lightweight: a 3.67 MB app that lives in your menu bar and Dock, push-to-talk, no popups.
