Talk instead of typing, anywhere on your Mac.

Hold a key, speak, and your words land at the cursor in about a third of a second — in your editor, in Slack, in a browser, in any app. Built for people who think faster than they type.

How it works

  1. Hold the key

    Pick a hotkey once. Press and hold it in any app.

  2. Speak

    Talk at a normal pace. Mull listens while you hold.

  3. Release

    Your words are typed in at the cursor — punctuation included.

No window to switch to, no panel to open. Mull lives in the menu bar and stays out of the way.

Dictation that keeps up with you

Fast enough to use mid-sentence

Release the key and the text is already there — typically 0.3 to 0.4 seconds. That gap is small enough that dictation stops feeling like a tool you switch to and starts feeling like typing. It works because Mull streams your speech to a fast transcription service as you talk, instead of waiting until you finish.

Works in every app, not a chosen few

Mull types text wherever your cursor is — Cursor, VS Code, Slack, Notion, Bear, Gmail in a browser, a commit message in a terminal. It uses the same macOS accessibility path a keyboard does, so there's no per-app integration to wait for.

English, Russian, and accents that aren't textbook

Mull runs on Deepgram's Nova-3 model, which handles multiple languages well — including Russian — and holds up against non-native accents. If you write professionally in a language you didn't grow up speaking, this is the part that matters.

Punctuation without saying “comma”

Mull adds punctuation and capitalization for you, so dictated text reads like written text. You speak the sentence; you don't narrate the grammar.

Also: turn recordings into something you can read

Dictation is what Mull does every day. But the same engine handles longer audio, too.

Record a meeting, get a summary

Capture a call — your mic and the other side's audio — and Mull transcribes it with speaker labels and writes a short summary: what was discussed, what was decided, what needs doing. It works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, or anything else playing through your Mac. No bot joins the call.

Drop in an audio file

Have a recording, a voice memo, an interview, a podcast episode? Hand the file to Mull and get back a clean transcript and summary. Length isn't a problem — Mull streams the file through instead of loading it whole.

Meeting and file transcription are early. Dictation is the part to judge Mull on today.

Where Mull is right now

Mull is a young app in active development. Dictation works and is what we use every day; meeting and file transcription are newer and rougher. The build you download is free to use right now — try it, see if it fits the way you work.

It's a paid app eventually. There's no price yet, and we won't invent one. When subscriptions arrive, you'll hear it from us first with a fair deal — not a surprise paywall.

This is built by one developer, in the open, in Yerevan, Armenia. If something is broken, you can email the person who broke it: hello@usemull.com.

FAQ

Does my audio get sent to a server?
Yes. Mull is cloud-based. When you dictate, your voice streams to Mull's own backend and on to our transcription provider (Deepgram). That round trip is what makes it fast and accurate. We don't store your audio or transcripts after processing them — they're handled in transit and then dropped on our side. The audio recorded on your Mac stays on your Mac.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Mull needs an account (email and password) and an internet connection to work. There's no offline-only mode — the transcription that makes Mull worth using runs in the cloud. If you specifically need everything to stay local, Mull isn't the tool for that, and we'd rather tell you now.
Is it really faster than the dictation built into macOS?
That's the bar we hold ourselves to. Mull uses a current cloud transcription model and streams audio while you speak, which is a different experience from the built-in dictation — faster to appear, better with accents and non-English speech, and it works the same in full-screen apps where the built-in one gets unreliable.
What does it cost?
Free right now. Mull will become a paid app once it's mature enough to charge for. We haven't set a price publicly yet, and we won't pretend we have — when we do, current users will hear it from us first, with a fair offer.
Which Macs does it run on?
Apple Silicon Macs (M-series). Tested on macOS 14 Sonoma and macOS 15 Sequoia.
How do I install it? Is it on the App Store?
No App Store. Mull ships as a notarized DMG you download directly — double-click to open, no Gatekeeper warnings to fight through. It needs Microphone and Accessibility permissions; the app walks you through them on first run.
Does it work for languages other than English?
Yes. The transcription model handles many languages, Russian included, and copes well with mixed or accented speech. Quality varies by language and how clearly you speak, as with any voice tool.
Will there be a Windows or Linux version?
No. Mull leans hard on macOS-specific frameworks for hotkeys, audio capture, and typing text into other apps. A cross-platform version would be a different product.
