Hold Fn, talk, and UtterKey pastes clean, cleaned-up text into Slack, email, docs, code — any app on your Mac. Buy-once software. Your API key. No monthly subscription.
One-time license·Your API key·OpenAI or Groq·Mac
No windows to manage, no cloud account. It lives in the background and types where your cursor already is.
Press and hold the globe / Fn key from anywhere on your Mac.
Say what you mean. Filler words and false starts get cleaned out.
Release, and polished text pastes straight into the app you're in.
A taste of the real thing — press and hold the Fn key below, then let go.
Press and hold Fn to dictate…
Hold it down, wait a beat, then release to see raw speech become clean text.
Slack, Mail, Docs, Notes, VS Code, the browser — if you can type there, UtterKey can paste there. No browser-only limit.
Pay once for the app. No $12–15/month tax forever — a one-time purchase with a license key and a fair device limit.
Use OpenAI for familiar quality, or switch to Groq for near-instant speech-to-text and cleanup. Pick your pace.
Save a trigger like review and a full expansion. Say the trigger, get the exact saved text.
Plug in your own OpenAI or Groq key — stored in the macOS Keychain, not our servers. Audio goes only to the provider you choose.
Filler out, grammar and punctuation in, meaning kept. Faithful mode preserves your exact words; Polished lightly fixes.
All three turn speech into text in your apps. UtterKey is for people who want ownership, BYO-key control, and a simple privacy story — not another monthly bill.

Yes — UtterKey is bring-your-own-key. Add an OpenAI and/or Groq key in Settings; it's stored in the macOS Keychain. You pay the provider only for what you use, usually pennies for everyday dictation.
OpenAI and Groq. OpenAI is the familiar quality path; Groq is the speed path — near-instant transcription and cleanup. Switch anytime in Settings.
Your license includes a fair device limit. Activate on the Macs you use, and deactivate one to free a slot when you replace a machine.
A 14-day money-back guarantee on the app license — if UtterKey isn't for you, contact support within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. (API charges from OpenAI or Groq are billed by them on your own key, so those aren't refundable through us.)
Your key stays in the macOS Keychain on your Mac. Audio is sent only to the provider you choose (OpenAI or Groq) to transcribe and clean the text. UtterKey doesn't re-host your voice.
Mac first. Windows is on the roadmap — buying today gets you the full Mac experience, and Windows will be announced when it's ready.
