## 🔮 Overview
Local-first AI Dictation app.
Amical is an open source AI-powered dictation and note-taking app that runs entirely on your machine.
Powered by [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) for speech-to-text and open source LLMs for intelligent processing, Amical gives you the power of AI dictation with complete privacy.
Context-aware dictation that adapts to what you're doing: drafting an email, chatting on Discord, writing prompts in your IDE, or messaging friends. Amical detects the active app and formats your speech accordingly.
