# Murmur — AI dictation for Mac

Murmur is a macOS AI dictation app that lets users hold a key, speak naturally, release, and have cleaned-up text typed wherever their cursor is. It is designed to replace slow typing for everyday writing and to work across apps such as Slack, email, VS Code, Cursor, Notion, Google Docs, browsers, support tools, and messaging apps.

## What problem Murmur solves

Typing is slower than speaking, and built-in dictation tools often feel clunky, inaccurate, or limited. Users who write a lot can lose time to typing, editing, context switching, and repetitive strain. Murmur solves this by turning speech into clean, ready-to-use text and inserting it system-wide.

## Who should use Murmur

Murmur is especially useful for:

- Mac users who want faster writing
- Developers dictating code comments, prompts, tickets, or docs in VS Code/Cursor
- Founders and operators writing emails, Slack replies, specs, notes, and support responses
- Writers, students, and creators drafting long-form text
- People with RSI, hand pain, or typing fatigue
- Users searching for a cheaper or better Wispr Flow alternative
