THOHT Documentation
Everything you need to set up THOHT and get the most out of voice‑to‑text on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Updated July 2026
THOHT turns your voice into text, fast. On Apple silicon Macs, core transcription can stay on-device; on Intel Macs, iPhone, and iPad it uses Pro cloud transcription. Speak, and your dictation appears in the compatible app or text field where you're working.
This is the documentation. It covers what THOHT does, how to set it up, every setting you can change, the exact usage limits, and how to fix the things people get stuck on.
What is THOHT
THOHT is a dictation app for Apple devices. You press a shortcut, talk, and the text lands in the app you're already working in — no copy‑paste, no separate window to babysit.
Two things make it different from the dictation built into your Mac:
- It runs on your device. On an Apple Silicon Mac, transcription happens locally. Your audio doesn't leave your computer for standard dictation, and it works offline.
- It can polish as it goes. With Pro, THOHT can clean up filler words, fix grammar, reformat speech into an email or a list, or translate — using AI, on top of the raw transcription.
