01 / LESS TYPING

Your voice.
Now with a shortcut.

For the email, the message and the thought
you’d otherwise forget before you typed it.

01
⌘

Press once.

Place your cursor in a text field. Right Command starts recording, even outside the app. Prefer another key? Make it yours.

02

Just speak.

Grok transcribes as you speak. A subtle menu bar icon shows the status. Your text field stays clear.

03

There’s your text.

Press again to stop. The finished text goes to your clipboard and, if you choose, straight into your text field.

THE ONLY DICTATOR YOU CONTROL.

You call the shots.
And pick the shortcut.

Right ⌘ ✓Left ⌥⌘ ⇧ Space… and more

Your shortcut. Your API key. Your words.
A little tool that stays out of your way.

02 / YOUR WAY IN

Small app.
No big commitment.

03 / GET STARTED

Three small steps.
Then it’s your turn.

  1. 01

    Move the app to your Mac.

    Unzip the download and move “Sprech” to Applications. Groktator is the new name; this beta still uses its original name in macOS.

  2. 02

    Add your xAI key.

    Create an API key ↗, add API credits and save the key in the app. Store it in macOS Keychain or keep it in memory for this session only.

  3. 03

    Mic on. Mind open.

    Allow microphone access. For single modifier keys and auto-paste, allow Accessibility access too. Then press right Command and go.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

No state secrets.

Why does macOS show a warning the first time?

This early beta is still named Sprech. It is signed with an Apple development certificate but is not yet notarized. If you trust this beta, try opening Sprech first, then check its entry in System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose “Open Anyway” if appropriate. Installation may be restricted on managed Macs. Apple’s explanation ↗

Is this an official Grok or xAI app?

No. Groktator is an independent Mac app by aifuera UG (haftungsbeschränkt), built using the xAI API. The name is a playful tribute. Groktator is not affiliated with, partnered with or endorsed by xAI.

Where does my audio go?

With your own API key, the app sends audio directly to xAI for cloud transcription. Your latest recording stays in local memory so you can retry or export it as a WAV file. It is discarded when you quit. There is no automatic dictation history. More about privacy ↗

Does it really work outside the app?

Yes. The global shortcut starts and stops recording while you’re in other apps. Once finished, your text is copied. Optionally, the app pastes it into the previously active text field using ⌘V. This requires macOS Accessibility permission; some apps or protected fields may restrict pasting.

Which shortcuts can I choose?

Right or left Command, right or left Option, right Control, ⌘⇧Space or ⌃⌥Space. Changes take effect immediately and are saved between launches.

What about iPhone?

The beta currently runs on macOS 14 or later. An iPhone version is not available yet.
