Local vs cloud
| What you can do | Local models | Cloud models |
|---|---|---|
| Dictation in your apps | On your Mac | Live streaming transcript |
| Meeting transcription | Recording + optional live preview | Live transcript as people speak |
| Voice translation | To English, with multilingual Whisper | Live translation for supported target languages |
| Live meeting translation | Not in the current local Whisper flow | Supported cloud language pairs |
| Audio, video, files & YouTube | Local transcription · no usage quota | App imports currently use local processing |
A local live preview already exists. Local translation into English is supported; full live meeting translation uses the cloud. “Live” means text updates during recording, not zero latency.
Message formatting and server cleanup are already available without Pro. Cleanup does not consume cloud audio hours.
Prefer no automatic renewal?
One payment of ₴1,500 for 12 months of Pro. No automatic renewal. Up to 3 bank payments where available; the bank’s schedule applies.

Workflows
What happens from action to outcome
Speak and get clean text where you are already working
Problem: Typing a quick thought interrupts the task already open on your Mac.
Outcome: Cleaned text is inserted into the active field after you release the shortcut.
- Hold the global shortcut
- Speak while live transcription appears
- Release to clean and insert the text
Keep a meeting you can return to
Problem: Notes disappear when the call ends and recordings are hard to search.
Outcome: A recording, speaker-labelled transcript, and playback controls stay in the library.
- Record the meeting with system audio
- Follow live transcription with speaker labels
- Replay, seek, retranscribe, or translate later
Turn spoken input into translated text
Problem: Voice translation should end in text you can use, not a separate playback flow.
Outcome: Diduny produces translated text and keeps the result with the recording.
- Choose the language pair
- Speak or process a recording
- Use the translated text in the current task
