IV — your voice, made readable

Legible.

speech becomes writing before you finish the sentence.

Hold a key, talk, let go — your words appear as clean, finished writing, anywhere you can type. Legible runs entirely on your Mac, so it answers instantly and nothing you say ever leaves the room.

The verdict

If you have a Mac, this is the one. It's built on the intelligence Apple already ships inside the machine, so it's faster because your words never travel, private because they can't, and open because we built it in the open.
