Orca One for Mac

Private AI dictation and meeting notes for Mac, powered on device

Orca One is a private AI dictation and meeting notes app for Mac. It combines voice typing, meeting transcription, and a voice launcher in one app, with speech recognition running on your Apple silicon Mac.

Use dictation to turn spoken thoughts into text in the app where you are working, such as an email, message, document, or note. App-specific writing styles let you use different formatting for different destinations, while a custom dictionary helps with names and specialized vocabulary.

Notetaker captures meetings without adding a bot to the call and produces transcripts with speaker labels. You can keep, search, and export your recordings and transcripts for later reference. Saved work remains available after the free trial ends.

The Launcher, currently in beta, lets you open apps, files, and links by voice. Optional AI-agent connections can make selected notes available to compatible tools for summaries and follow-up work. Summaries are handled by the connected agent rather than built into Orca One. Information you choose to share is subject to that service's own privacy practices.

Dictation and meeting transcription work offline after the initial model downloads and activation. Orca One requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. The free trial includes 2,000 dictation words and three Notetaker recordings. A one-time purchase unlocks continued use on one Mac with no recurring subscription and includes future Orca One updates.
