Download Amical

Get started by downloading the Amical app from our downloads page. We package the apps for your convenience and they're available via our GitHub releases.

If you encounter a security warning when first opening Amical:

Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Click "Open Anyway" next to the Amical warning
Or right-click the Amical app and select "Open", then confirm

Setup

Follow the startup steps which include:
- Microphone Access: Grant permission so Amical can hear your voice
- Accessibility Access: Allow Amical to use keyboard shortcuts and paste text into other apps

How to Use

Open any app where you want to type - Notes, Slack, Email, etc.
Hold the fn key and start speaking
Release the fn key when you're done speaking
Amical will convert your speech to text and automatically paste it into the active app

That's it! You're ready to start dictating in any application.
