If you are on an Apple Silicon Mac and want completely free local dictation with exceptional language support and meeting diarization, Resonant's free tier is genuinely strong - it costs nothing and keeps audio on-device. Typilot wins when you need Windows or Linux, when you want AI inline in every text field (27 commands, local Ollama polish, autocomplete), when you want the AI polish layer to stay local rather than routing to the cloud (Resonant Pro uses cloud AI), or when a one-time lifetime license matters to you.
Yes - both transcribe audio locally and keep your data on-device at their base tier. Typilot adds 27 inline AI commands, text polish via a local Ollama model, AI autocomplete, and Windows and Linux support that Resonant does not have. Resonant's free tier beats Typilot on price and language coverage (1,600+ languages via omniASR).
Not in the free tier - all transcription runs on Apple Silicon Neural Engine and audio stays on your Mac. The Pro tier ($96/yr) adds AI cleanup, rewrites, and summaries that use cloud processing. Typilot sends nothing to the cloud at any tier.
No - Resonant requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. Typilot runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux.
Both transcribe meetings locally with speaker identification. Resonant uses NVIDIA Sortformer diarization and dual-channel recording to separate mic and system audio at the capture stage. Typilot learns speaker voices across sessions and adds chat-with-transcript through a local LLM, so you can ask questions about your meeting without re-reading the full text.
