Dictate Everything
nommo vs. SuperWhisper
Dictate everything, built on shared foundations. SuperWhisper proved local-first dictation works on macOS, and published S1-mini — the Apache-2.0 cleanup model nommo also runs, credited by name in every build. nommo pairs it with native Neural Engine speech recognition and its own interaction design.
