AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed information about ExpressDictate's native Apple Silicon support status in available search results. NCH Software is an active developer that maintains a range of Mac and Windows utilities, but without confirmation of a native build or recent development activity specific to this app, the path forward is uncertain. Contact NCH Software directly at their website (nchsoftware.com) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build of ExpressDictate is available now or is planned before September 2028, when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support entirely. If the vendor confirms no native build is in development, you may want to explore alternative dictation tools — built-in macOS Dictation, Otter.ai, or Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Mac all run natively on Apple Silicon and offer voice-to-text features. In the meantime, ExpressDictate will continue to work under Rosetta 2, but plan ahead given the 2028 deadline.
