"Monologue has dramatically sped up my work processes"
~500k words dictated. About 116 hours saved
Thank you, Laura Savino. So glad Monologue is helping
Monologue for Mac v1.5.1 is out with lots of small quality of life improvements.
Faster dictation, easier Notes search, more control over shortcuts, and fixes for note uploads, meeting detection, and the Dot.
Update Monologue to try it.
Sandbar(@sandbar) is one of the first teams using mono-1 through our enterprise API with Stream, its voice ring.
We’re now making mono-1 available to select developers building voice products.
We wanted dictation to be both fast and accurate. We couldn’t find a model that met that bar, so we trained and host our own.
Nearly six months later, we’re proud to share it and open access through our enterprise API.
Introducing mono-1, our in-house dictation model, built to turn natural speech into text you can use.
Against our previous API-based pipeline, mono-1 required about 55% fewer estimated edits and delivered finished dictation 3× faster by median API response time.
Accurate speech recognition is the foundation of good dictation. But good dictation also needs to handle corrections, formatting, context, and writing preferences.
mono-1 is the culmination of six months of development, production testing, and feedback from Monologue users—improving how Monologue recognizes your words, handles corrections, and formats your writing.

For anyone who dictates with Spotify running in the background: Monologue can automatically pause or mute your audio when you start dictating.
You can turn it on under Settings → Mic & Audio.
Yesterday we launched Dot, Monologue’s new recorder UI.
It looks tiny. Building it wasn’t.
Lucas Fischer and Naveen unpack the accessibility work, discarded prototypes, performance tradeoffs, and why we removed most of the animation.
Here’s the full conversation
Grateful to @naveennaidu_m for letting me explore and build this feature for @usemonologue.
So excited to see it finally ship. Truly appreciate the trust and support to run wild with an idea and bring it to life. 🫶
Love the dot. Monologue has me going voice first across all my apps - not just my harnesses.
The CLI and agent integration is awesome for local agents!
My favorite dictation app on every platform keeps getting better.
I use Monologue almost religiously every day and continue to love its CLI and support for agents.
Meet Dot, the new Monologue recorder UI
- Stays beside your caret so you know where your text will appear
- Follows you across apps and puts your text where you started
- Moves out of the way when you’re not recording
Available today in Monologue for Mac v1.5.0
ai notes 08/20:
- pstack is the best thing i've tried in a while
- giving grok bot linux versions of apps is underrated
- mine dictation transcripts for factory improvements
- prompting while z2 running is heaven
