Yes. Your dictation history, screenshots, clipboard, and recordings stay on your Mac, and can be deleted automatically after a time you choose.

When you use dictation, cleanup, Ask Lipo, or Visual Brief, only what is needed is sent to trusted partners to complete that request. With Context awareness on, that includes the text Lipo read from your screen. Lipo and those partners do not sell your content or use it to train AI models.

Microphone so Lipo can hear what you say when you dictate.

Accessibility so Lipo can paste your finished text into the app you are typing in. Ask Lipo and Context awareness also use it to read the text you are working on, and Lipo uses it to notice when you fix a word it pasted.

Screen Recording (optional) so Lipo can take screenshots and run Visual Brief when you ask. Lipo does not watch your screen in the background. It only uses screen access when you capture or record.

Most dictation apps are built for English first. In other languages, names come out wrong, grammar breaks and accents are ignored. Lipo is built for 50+ languages, including the ones other apps leave out, such as Bangla, Hindi, Tamil and Arabic, and it writes the text the way you really speak. English is fully supported too, with the same speed and accuracy.

Lipo is also the only voice typing app for Mac that translates while you speak. You talk in your language, and Lipo pastes the text in another one.

Lipo does more than dictation. It includes Ask Lipo for editing text by voice, a screenshot editor, clipboard history, Visual Brief for explaining a screen recording to an AI tool, and a custom dictionary for the names and words other apps get wrong. One app instead of five.

Yes, with Ask Lipo on Pro Plus. Select the text, double-tap your dictation key, and say what you want, for example "make it more formal" or "turn this into bullet points". Lipo replaces the text you selected with the new version.

Ask Lipo also writes new text. Click Reply on an email and say "reply saying I can join on Tuesday", and Lipo writes the reply where your cursor is. Turn on Context awareness so Lipo can read the email you are answering. Lipo never presses Send.

One app. Seven tools.

Lipo works in English and 50+ other languages, in every app on your Mac.
