BetterVoice is an experimental, open-source macOS menu-bar app for local voice dictation with screen context. It transcribes speech locally and captures the full display whenever the user circles an area with the pointer, marking each capture with a blue pointer trail and pulse while preserving multiple references in order. The app inserts the transcript into the selected text field when macOS permits it and pastes captured images when both speech and screen context are available. It supports quick notes and long explanations, configurable microphones, dictation languages, circle-detection thresholds, and keyboard shortcuts. English uses a local Parakeet model by default, while other languages use a separately downloaded multilingual model; an optional English-only grammar-cleanup feature runs locally through quantized ONNX weights.
