blah is a local-first dictation app for mac and windows that turns your voice into clean, finished text. hold a key and talk; it transcribes on-device, strips the filler, and pastes the result right where your cursor is. pick a voice to reword, reformat, or translate into 20 languages.
02
[ captions ]
Live Captions
See transcription appear on screen as you speak. When you're done, send it to the clipboard or paste it into the focused text field in any app.
03
[ preview ]
Preview & edit before paste
Hold Shift while you dictate and the cleaned text opens in a preview instead of pasting straight away. Edit it, switch the voice, or change the translation language and watch it re-run live, then paste it in.

[ memos ]
Voice Memos
Capture a quick voice note with its own hotkey when you want to record an idea instead of paste dictated text.

06 · privacy
completely private.
tired of being the product? tired of your data quietly being collected, sold, and stolen? blah never asks.
no signal? no problem.
ever find yourself...
- translating for your guide deep in the jungles of thailand, miles from the nearest tower?
- leaning across the airplane aisle to a seatmate who doesn't speak your language?
- lost in the back of a cab, and the driver doesn't understand a word you're saying?
- writing your book in a cabin in the middle of nowhere?
- taking notes somewhere the cloud simply isn't allowed?
- working on something confidential for your company that can't ever leave your laptop?
try it: turn off your wifi and dictate. · still works. crazy, we know.
