Summary
VTT is a macOS dictation app that supports 26 languages with per-language engine selection. Users can keep English on-device while routing other languages to cloud services like Deepgram, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs using their own API key. The app detects keyboard layout to match the dictation language, works across any Mac app, and requires no account.
