In the source's own words
“you say it and Lesskeys writes it, in 99 languages. It is the easy way through the long email, the quick message and the letter you keep putting off. The speech to text runs on your Mac, so it works offline”
Lesskeys home page: voice to text, call recording and clipboard history, Lesskeys, Lesskeys, 2026, Home page, introduction paragraph (Mac version).
Open the original- What it measures
- The same home page says '99 languages for speech. This site also reads in 28 of them', so the 99 is the speech count and the 28 is the count for the site's own text. The Windows version of the same paragraph says the speech to text runs on your PC, so it works offline.
- What it does not show
- The page gives one count for the whole app and does not list the 99 languages. Offline use is stated for the speech to text, not checked by us for each language.
