What you get

Talk into any app without opening a separate window

  • Hold Fn and speak in whatever app you already have focused, then release to drop the text in
  • Double-press the shortcut to lock hands-free recording on, and press again when you are done
  • Skip the copy and paste step because Rhino writes into the field your cursor already sits in
  • Use it anywhere text goes, from Slack and Gmail to Xcode, Notion, and the terminal
Talk into any app without opening a separate window

Your voice never leaves your Mac

  • Transcribe with Whisper or Parakeet running locally, so audio is never uploaded anywhere
  • Clean up text with an embedded model that fixes filler words and dropped words on device
  • Work with Wi-Fi off on a plane or anywhere you would not paste client data into a browser
  • Send zero telemetry because there is no account, no login, and no analytics pipeline
Your voice never leaves your Mac

Teach it the words you actually say

  • Add names and jargon to a personal dictionary so client names and acronyms stop coming out wrong
  • Review past dictations in a local history that stays on your machine
  • Track writing stats to see how much you dictate versus type

I wanted an AI dictation - accurate, no subscription & private

So I built Rhino.

Transcription runs on device with Whisper and Parakeet.

The AI cleanup that fixes filler words and dropped syllables also runs on device.

Turn off Wi-Fi and the whole thing still works, which is the test I use to know it is telling the truth. There is no account, no login, and no telemetry. You hold Fn, you talk, you release, and text shows up where your cursor is.

Here is the honest part. Rhino is new. Version 0.1.0 shipped on August 11, 2026, and I have already pushed three updates since.

It does one thing well and it is not trying to be a meeting notetaker or a podcast editor. If you want a mature product with a decade of edge cases handled, this is not that yet. If you want fast private dictation from someone who ships fixes the same week you report them, and you want it for less than a coffee, that is exactly what this is. I read every email that comes in. If Rhino gets something wrong for you, tell me and it goes on the list.

Questions & reviews

AskSumo

Customers appreciate Rhino, praising its transcription accuracy and strong focus on privacy by operating fully on-device. However, it is important to note that Rhino is a new product, and while it excels in fast private dictation, it is not designed for live transcription or as a meeting notetaker. Users should be aware that it may not yet handle all edge cases, as it is still in early development. Weighing the positive aspects against the limitations, Rhino is a promising option for those seeking reliable dictation at an affordable price.
