Hlas

Dictation. Not typing. A Mac dictation app that takes Czech seriously.

Client
Own software
Role
Design and development, solo
Hlas

Hold Fn, speak Czech or English, release, and the text lands at your cursor in any app. No subscription, no account, no telemetry, no cloud unless you ask for it. Built in Prague as a replacement for the 8 to 15 dollar a month dictation apps that treat Czech as an afterthought.

Why

I was tired of paying 15 dollars a month for a tool that treats Czech as an afterthought. So I built my own, in Claude Code and Codex, during August 2026.

How

Local whisper.cpp on Apple Silicon, optional Groq or OpenAI with your own key, smart text cleanup, keys in Keychain. Apple Silicon, macOS 15 and newer.
