Open-source, local-first AI dictation app that types 3x faster without a keyboard.
Amical is an open-source AI dictation and note-taking app that runs entirely on your machine using Whisper for speech-to-text and open-source LLMs. It detects the active app and formats your speech contextually, so dictating into an email, chat, or IDE feels natural. Because it works offline, it keeps your words private while offering fast, accurate voice typing.

Video and audio tools split into generators (which create footage, voices or music from prompts) and editors (which speed up cutting, captions and cleanup). Start from your end product: short social clips, long videos, podcasts or voiceovers each reward different strengths. For generation, check output resolution, clip length, and how much control you get over style and consistency. For voices and music, listen for natural pacing and check the languages you need. Licensing is critical — confirm you can use the output commercially, especially for client work and monetised channels. Finally, weigh render times and credit costs: a tool that takes an hour per clip changes your whole workflow.
