It stopped working: which permissions should I check?

Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and make sure Writhere is enabled under Microphone, Accessibility and Input Monitoring (plus Screen Recording if you transcribe calls). Then relaunch the app: macOS applies some of these only to a fresh start. You can check them anytime from the Autorizzazioni section in the app dashboard.

What are the system requirements?

A Mac with macOS 13 or later. Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) is recommended: everything runs on-device, and the AI features are dramatically faster there. Intel Macs work too, with longer processing times for call transcription and summaries.

Why does it ask for the Microphone?

To hear your voice while you dictate. The audio is processed on your Mac and never leaves it.

Why does it ask for Accessibility?

To type the dictated text straight into your apps and to catch the shortcut in any app. Without it, Writhere would be stuck in its own window.

Why does it ask for Screen Recording?

Only to hear the other side of a call you want transcribed: macOS gates system audio behind this permission. It is optional, nothing is filmed, and no audio ever leaves your Mac.

€49 forever — what's the catch?

There isn't one. The AI runs on your device, so there's no ongoing cost on our side to pass on to you. One payment, yours to keep.

Is my voice really private?

Yes. Everything is processed locally. Your audio and text never leave your machine — there's no server to send them to.

What happens when I switch computers?

Your license covers every device you own. Install Writhere on the new one and you're set — no account, nothing to migrate from the cloud.

Yes — improvements land as free updates, so the app you own keeps getting better at no extra cost.

90+ Languages: What Writhere Actually Supports for Dictation

A lot of dictation software is, in practice, English-first — other languages are supported on paper but clearly not where the tuning effort went. Writhere's speech model supports more than 90 languages out of the box.

Quick answer

Writhere dictates in 90+ languages using the same on-device model for all of them — no separate language pack to download, no cloud fallback for "less common" languages, no tier where non-English speakers get worse treatment.

What broad language support actually enables

— Dictating in your native language, even if it's not one of the handful most apps optimize for.
— Switching languages mid-use without reinstalling anything or downloading a new pack.
— Combining language support with translation — dictate in one, get text in another (see the translation feature).

Why this matters for a one-time-purchase app specifically

There's no subscription tier gating "premium languages" behind a higher plan — the same €49 purchase and the same local model cover all 90+ languages. Broad language support isn't an upsell, it's just what the model does.

The bottom line

Dictation shouldn't feel like a second-class experience because English isn't the language you think in. Writhere's language support is built to not make that tradeoff.
