AI Dictation in Figma
Drop comments, layer names, design rationale, and component documentation into Figma at conversation speed — Amical handles the typing so you can stay in the design.
Why typing in Figma is slowing you down
Comments are tedious
Leaving thoughtful design feedback on a colleague file means typing through fifteen sticky-note comments. By the time you finish, you have lost the design instincts that made the feedback worth giving.
Naming layers and components
Renaming layers and tagging components properly is exactly the boring-but-important work that gets skipped under typing fatigue. Voice removes the penalty so naming actually happens consistently across files.
Design rationale rarely written
You know what informed a design choice — three weeks later, you do not. Typing rationale into component descriptions feels like overhead, but voice closes the gap between intent and documented decision.
FigmaWhat Amical does in Figma
Design-savvy tone
Amical knows Figma comments are casual but precise — short sentences, design vocabulary, no formal salutations bleeding into critique. The output formatting matches: punchy enough for a sticky comment, structured enough for component documentation.
Component documentation in seconds
A genuinely useful component description with usage rules, accessibility notes, and edge-case examples goes from idea to typed in a fraction of the time. Amical structures the prose into the format design-system docs actually need.
Privacy for unreleased designs
Many Figma files contain pre-release designs, confidential client work, or strategic product direction. Amical local-Whisper option keeps every word of your dictation entirely on-device, with cloud models opt-in via your own API key only when you choose.
What you'd dictate in Figma
“Detailed design critique on a colleague mockup with three structured points”
“Component description capturing usage rules and accessibility notes for the design system”
“Quick layer-rename pass across a complex file without breaking design flow”

ごめん、勝間さん。
ScribesよりAmicalだわ
This is really an amazing app, and I'm super impressed with how smooth it works, and their amazing support. It's just fast and accurate, and it formats the text depending on what application I'm using. This is really my go-to blathering app, and it makes my day so sweet and easy. Read on AppSumo →

・Amical
・Aqua Voice
・Typeless
個人的には慣れもあるけどAqua Voiceが好き。Typelessは整形キツめなのが難点だけどUIUXが良い。Amicalはローカル完結で無料なのがデカい。
音声入力は移り変わりが激しいので年払いはしない方がいいです。

Not sure why nobody's talking about it, but there's a free AI voice input app that's incredibly usable. It's called Amical — I use it daily.
Translated
tried amical (free & open source) alternative to whispr flow, aquavoice because they both charged me over $10
and the fact that it lets me run everything locally so nothing leaves my machine is crazyyy🤯
r/macappsu/IAM-rooted
nice comparison. been using amical lately and surprised it's not mentioned more. it's open source, runs locally or with cloud models, and actually formats stuff based on what app you're in. feels way more usable than just whisper or vosk on their own.
I was using VoiceDash, currently I'm using Blip AI, and now I'm testing Amical. So far, Amical is really, really good in recognizing my language and fantastic in recognizing the English language. I'm really impressed in this short period of time of using it. Read on AppSumo →
Amical for voice input is great — runs locally so it's super fast. I was on Aqua Voice but the 0.5s lag between speaking and seeing text was stressful every time. Local model accuracy is slightly lower but well within acceptable.
