Why people use it

Works in every app

Hold your hotkey and talk. Text lands where your cursor is — no plugins.

Actually free

Free dictation with a free ANANA account. No weekly word limit. No paywall mid-sentence.

Stays on your Mac

Speech runs on-device. Your drafts are not a product we sell.

Built for real work

Snippets, style cleanup, English and Mandarin — the same companion we use every day.

Three steps

Download the Mac app

Grab the free installer. Drag ANANA into Applications.

Try a few times free

No account needed to test. Hold the hotkey and speak.

Sign in to keep going

Still free. Create an ANANA login to keep dictating — and browse or book stays on the web.

Straight answers

Is this free dictation app really free?

Yes. The Mac dictation companion is free. Try a few times with no account. Create a free ANANA login to keep going — no subscription and no word-per-week cap.

Can I use it without signing up?

Yes, for a short try. After a few free uses we ask you to sign in (still free) so we can keep the product personal to your account — prefs, snippets, history — and so you can browse and book stays on ANANA.

Is this only for Airbnb hosts?

Hosts get the guest-extras tools on the main site. Dictation is for anyone who wants free Mac voice typing — and a free ANANA account also opens browsing and booking stays.

Where does my audio go?

Recognition runs on your Mac. We built this as a local companion, not a cloud transcription subscription.
