On macOS you can choose an on-device app or a cloud service. On-device tools avoid uploads and stay steady on weak networks. Cloud tools can be fine for quick notes, collaboration, or automatic meeting capture.

Option  Compute  Privacy  Pricing  Best for

Voice Type  On device  Audio stays on Mac  One time  Long dictation, privacy, travel

Apple Dictation  Cloud  Uploads audio  Included  Short phrases, stock setup

Otter  Cloud  Uploads audio  Subscription  Meetings with teams

Notion voice typing  Cloud  Uploads audio  Included  Short notes inside Notion


When Voice Type makes sense

You care about privacy and want audio to stay on your Mac.

You dictate long notes and need steady speed on weak Wi-Fi.

You prefer a one-time price instead of a monthly plan.
For numbers, the  latency demo  lets you plug in your own network and compare streaming to on-device finalisation.

When a cloud tool is fine

You only need short notes during a call.

You want meeting features and shared workspaces.

You are always on fast and reliable networks.
