## Overview

Kudu is a private voice dictation app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It turns your voice into clean, formatted writing in any app, without sending your voice to a server. Kudu features meeting notes, which transcribe your calls and write a summary, decisions, and action items. It also has a command mode, snippets, and works offline.
