+description: "A native Mac dictation app whose key feature is a CLI — script speech-to-text into any workflow."
+---
+
+Most dictation apps are GUI-bound: open the app, hit record, paste the transcription somewhere. Monologue adds a CLI so a `monologue` command can drop transcriptions into your scripts, automate hotkey-triggered captures, or pipe speech into Raycast/Alfred/Shortcuts. Reviewed favorably by Federico Viticci, who said it "was exactly what I needed."
