Cross-tool workflow

Mac Dictation for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini

Switching between AI tools should not mean switching dictation behavior. Almond gives you one fast local capture layer across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Why a unified dictation layer matters

  • Consistent shortcut and insertion behavior across tools.
  • Less adaptation cost when changing model providers.
  • Faster capture of long prompts and follow-ups.

Workflow recommendation

Draft prompts once by voice, then adapt only model-specific constraints before submission.

This reduces retyping when comparing outputs across models.

Performance and privacy baseline

Local deterministic dictation keeps the capture path fast and private before model-specific processing begins.

Benchmark qualifier

Based on Almond internal testing (February 15, 2026): same 20-second spoken phrase, measured from end of dictation to visible final text result versus Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models.

  • Test date: 2026-02-15
  • Input: Same 20-second spoken phrase
  • Metric: Elapsed time from end of dictation to visible final result
  • Comparison group: Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models
