# Dictation app for therapists on Mac

Canonical page: https://flit.fyi/use-cases/therapists

**Session notes stay on your Mac.** Notes are the part of the work that happens after the work, which is why they stack up. Speaking them is roughly 4 times faster than typing them, but speaking them into a cloud service means the details of someone’s worst month travel to a company neither of you has met. Flit does the whole job on your machine: the model, the formatting, and the dictionary of names it spells correctly.

## What slows therapists and clinicians down

- Notes pile up until the end of the day, then get written from memory.
- Cloud dictation sends client detail to a vendor you did not vet.
- Typing during a session is the fastest way to stop being present.
- Clinical dictation is priced per seat and assumes a hospital behind you.

## What Flit does for therapists and clinicians

### It formats, it does not summarize

Flit fixes capitals, punctuation and spoken numbers. It does not condense your note, rewrite your phrasing, or decide what mattered. What you said is what appears, which is the only acceptable behavior in a clinical record.

### Nothing to send, nothing to sign for

There is no upload step, no account, and no analytics. The transcription happens on your Mac and the text goes to your cursor. Point a network monitor at it during a dictation and you will see nothing move.

### Names and terms, spelled your way

Add client names, medication names and the assessment abbreviations you use to your personal dictionary. They come out right the first time, and the dictionary never leaves the machine either.

### Works in whatever your practice runs on

Flit types into the focused field of any app, so it works in your practice management software, a browser tab, Notes or a letter template. There is nothing to integrate.

## Finished text, not a transcript

Said: "client reported um sleep improved to about 6 hours nightly since the last session affect brighter"

Flit wrote, in Notes: Client reported sleep improved to about 6 hours nightly since the last session. Affect brighter.

Clinical shorthand stays shorthand: "affect brighter" is not expanded into a sentence. Your observation, cleaned up, not summarized.

## Why choose Flit over Wispr Flow

Session notes are among the most sensitive things you write. Flit processes them on your Mac and nowhere else, so there is no outside service holding them.

## Check it yourself

Dictate a note with the machine offline. It works, because nothing was ever going to be sent. That is a claim you can disprove in a minute, which is more than a badge on a marketing page offers.

## Questions

**Is Flit HIPAA or GDPR compliant?**

Compliance is a property of your practice, not of a text field, so the honest answer is what the software does. Flit makes no network request to dictate: no audio, no text and no client information is transmitted to us or anyone else, because there is no third party in the path to receive it. Whether that satisfies your obligations is a question for your own compliance advice. We do not certify Flit against any standard and would not ask you to take a marketing page as assurance.

**Can it transcribe a recorded session?**

If you have a recording, yes: since 1.5 Flit transcribes audio and video files on your Mac, with nothing uploaded. Flit does not record a session itself, so there is no recording on your disk unless you made one.

**Will it change my clinical wording?**

No. Formatting is punctuation, capitalization, spoken numbers and times, and the standard casing of work terms like B2B and API. Filler words like “um” are removed, and a guard discards any model output that loses a word you said. Your terminology, your phrasing and your ordering are left exactly as spoken.
