Install on macOS ​

Speech Dock for macOS ships as a DMG package. There are two builds:

  • arm64 for Apple Silicon;
  • x64 for Intel Macs.

If you'd rather not choose by hand, open the download page and grab the right DMG there.

Install ​

  1. Download the DMG.
  2. Open it in Finder.
  3. Drag Speech Dock.app into the Applications folder.
  4. Launch the app.

On first launch, macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning. This is normal for apps distributed outside the App Store. In that case, open the app from Applications while holding Control, or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Permissions ​

Speech Dock asks for two system permissions:

  • Microphone — to hear your voice;
  • Accessibility — to use global hotkeys and insert text into the active window.

If you accidentally declined, open:

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility

and

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone

and turn on the toggle next to Speech Dock.

What to check after install ​

  • the app launches;
  • Gatekeeper no longer blocks it;
  • the microphone is allowed;
  • the global hotkey works from any app;
  • text is inserted into the active window.
