# Wisper Back

> Wisper Back is dictation and narration for Mac, in one app that lives in the
> MacBook notch. Talk to type: hold fn (or press fn Space for hands-free) and speak, and
> clean text lands where the cursor is, in any app. Select to listen: select any
> text and hear the gist, or the whole thing, in a natural voice. macOS 14+,
> Apple silicon, free to start.

Key facts:
- Maker: Bishal Banerjee (indie developer)
- Platform: macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon only
- Dictation: works in every app; removes fillers and false starts; formats
  lists and numbers; understands "new line", "new paragraph" and "scratch that";
  spells names the way the screen shows them; learns your corrections. Keeps
  working when you're offline. Narration, meetings and agent read-back need the
  internet.
- Narration: select text and hear the gist or the full text; words flow in the
  notch like lyrics; drag or swipe to scrub; tilt the lid to change speed.
- Coding agents: when Codex or Claude Code finishes a turn (in a terminal or in
  apps such as T3 Code), Wisper Back reads what it did aloud; hold fn to reply to
  that chat by voice.
- Also: Meetings (records both sides, live transcript, notes after; the notch
  can be hidden from screen shares), Author (ask your Mac to do things by
  voice), knock and slide gestures, voice notes.
- Plans: free to download and free to start; every new account gets a first
  week of Pro free. Plans are bought in the app.
