Install Pomvox

A small app. A quick start.

Pom needs one download. Then never again.

Your Mac

You need macOS 14 or later and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer). Pomvox is free and open source.

Install the app

Download the notarized DMG, open it, and move Pomvox to Applications. Or install with Homebrew:

brew install --cask pomvox/pomvox/pomvox

Prepare for your first dictation

Open Pomvox and follow setup. Grant the microphone and Accessibility permissions it asks for. The first setup downloads and prepares local models; let it finish before dictating. After that, dictation works offline.
