About Speech To Markdown
Speech To Markdown is a free productivity application designed for macOS and iOS that transforms spoken audio into cleanly structured Markdown using a local Large Language Model (LLM).
Created by developer Igor Steblii, the tool focuses heavily on privacy and ease of access. Because all processing happens locally on your machine, it requires no cloud servers or API keys—ensuring that your voice data and written notes never leave your Mac. Users can trigger global dictation from anywhere across their system using the ⌘⌥] keyboard shortcut. Additionally, the app features a live Markdown editor equipped with on-the-fly LLM fixing capabilities to refine and structure your notes instantly.
Pros of Speech To Markdown
- Completely free to use on macOS and iOS
- Enhanced privacy with zero cloud processing or external API key requirements
- Convenient global dictation trigger using system-wide shortcut ⌘⌥]
- Includes a live Markdown editor with on-the-fly LLM refinement
Cons of Speech To Markdown
- Limited exclusively to macOS and iOS ecosystems
- Requires local hardware resources to power the local LLM

Speech To Markdown is currently available as an application for macOS and iOS devices.
About TestForge Agent Trials
TestForge Agent Trials is an analytical developer tool designed to preemptively evaluate the behavior of AI agents before they are deployed in live environments. Users can input their agent's system prompts, AGENTS.md files, or specific skill definitions into the platform. Powered by GPT-5.6, the tool then subjects the agent to five inert, simulated behavioral trials. These trials are designed to safely test how the agent interprets and executes its instructions without making real-world actions or API calls. The core value of TestForge lies in its deep diagnostic capabilities. It meticulously separates the actions the model actually took during the simulation from what the user's instructions explicitly supported. Developers can inspect every decision, identifying control conflicts, ignored criteria, and 'minimal redlines'—areas where the prompt failed to constrain the AI properly. Ultimately, it generates a downloadable, traceable Trial Record, providing concrete behavioral evidence based on specific test cases to help refine and secure AI agent instructions.
Pros of TestForge Agent Trials
- Allows developers to safely observe how an AI agent interprets instructions before it takes live actions.
- Provides deep, granular diagnostics by highlighting control conflicts and pinpointing where the model deviated from the prompt.
- Generates a downloadable, traceable Trial Record that serves as concrete behavioral evidence for the agent.
Cons of TestForge Agent Trials
- Relies entirely on simulated ('inert') trials, which may not capture unpredictable edge cases that occur with live API integrations.
- The tool explicitly states it provides 'behavioral evidence' rather than formal certification, meaning it is a diagnostic aid rather than a definitive security guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of files or text can I test with TestForge?
You can test any text that governs your AI's behavior, including standard system prompts, AGENTS.md files, or specific skill definitions.
Does TestForge actually execute my agent's code?
No. The trials are 'inert,' meaning TestForge simulates the behavioral decisions the agent would make based on your prompt, but it does not execute live actions or call external APIs.
