Hold your dictation key in any app: Mail, Slack, your editor, a browser, or a Remote Desktop window. Choose your dictation key in Settings.
A small bubble shows your words as you go. Whisper transcribes them on your Mac.
Cleanup drops the ums and false starts and fixes punctuation. The text is pasted where your cursor is, and your clipboard is put back.
What cleanup does, and doesn't. It removes filler words, false starts and "no wait, I mean" corrections, and fixes punctuation and capitals. Every result is checked against what you said, and a cleanup that adds words or numbers is thrown out. If it isn't sure, or takes longer than about 3 seconds, you get your raw words. Didn't like a cleanup? Undo right after and choose Paste raw instead. Prefer it untouched? Turn on raw mode.
If your workday happens inside a remote session, Siftla still works. Dictate on your Mac and the clean text is pasted into the remote window you're working in, through Microsoft's Remote Desktop app for Mac.
The text passes through the remote computer's clipboard.
Fully private, nothing to set up. Offline runs a local AI model on your Mac to clean up your words. No API key, no account, and your text stays on your Mac.
Coming soonOur best cleanup for messy speech. Pro adds Claude cleanup with your own Anthropic API key. It's noticeably better when you ramble, restart sentences or correct yourself mid-thought.
Claude cleanup costs under $1 a month at 150 dictations a day of 60 words each, billed by Anthropic to your own account. Estimate at Anthropic's November 2026 prices.

No dictation is. Accuracy depends on your microphone, accent, background noise and vocabulary. Cleanup edits your wording, so check anything important before you send it. Paste raw instead is always one click away.
No. Every cleanup is checked against what you actually said. If the result adds words or numbers you didn't say, or looks like an answer rather than an edit, Siftla pastes your raw words instead.
Yes, for Claude cleanup. You create an API key at Anthropic and paste it into Settings. Anthropic charges you directly for what you use. Without a key, Pro still offers on-device cleanup and raw mode.
