First setup
Follow the onboarding flow to grant Microphone and Accessibility permissions, then download a local speech model.
How can we help?
Get Elokin listening, transcribing, and placing text exactly where you need it.
Start dictating
Place your cursor in a text field, hold your configured shortcut, speak, and release to transcribe.
Choose a profile
Raw returns the transcript. Polished, Concise, and Translate transform it locally before insertion.
System requirements
Elokin requires macOS 14 or later and a Mac with Apple silicon. Local models also need available disk space.
Accessibility stays unavailable
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and enable Elokin. If macOS still shows the previous state, remove Elokin from the list, add the installed app again, and reopen it.
The microphone does not start
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone and enable Elokin. If it is absent, launch Elokin and request access again from onboarding or Settings.
A model will not download
Check your internet connection and available disk space, then retry from model settings. Network filtering, VPNs, or temporary model-host availability can interrupt downloads.
Text is not pasted
Confirm Accessibility permission, put the cursor in an editable field, and try again. Some secure password fields intentionally prevent automated text insertion.
Cloud profiles
Custom cloud profiles need a valid endpoint, model name, and API key for the selected provider. Built-in profiles remain local and do not require a cloud account.
Still stuck?
Email contact@elokin.app with your macOS version, Mac model, Elokin version, and a short description of what happened. Please do not include API keys or sensitive transcripts.
