How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Bright Pattern when transcribing and quality-scoring 100% of customer support calls for compliance and coaching matters most, and TongueType when transcribing recorded audio or video files locally, such as meeting or interview recordings matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

TongueType is a privacy-focused macOS voice dictation app that turns speech into text on-device using a local Whisper AI model.
Bright Pattern is an enterprise omnichannel contact center (CCaaS) platform that captures, transcribes, and analyzes customer interactions across voice, chat, SMS, messenger, and other channels. Its automatic speech recognition converts live and recorded calls into searchable text transcripts, which feed sentiment analysis, keyword and intent detection, and quality scoring. The platform's OmniQM quality management system automatically evaluates and scores interactions, flagging conversations for supervisor review and tracking metrics like AHT, CSAT, NPS, and first-call resolution. Real-time agent assist surfaces suggestions and compliance prompts during conversations, while interaction analytics help managers spot trends such as customer churn. Bright Pattern integrates with CRMs including Salesforce and Zendesk, and supports speech recognition in multiple languages. It is built for contact centers, BPOs, and customer service teams in sectors such as healthcare, insurance, financial services, retail, and government. It is available as cloud SaaS, on-premise, or private cloud, with a stated 30-day free trial.
Best suited for
TongueType is a voice dictation application for macOS that converts speech to text entirely on-device using a locally-run Whisper AI model, so audio never leaves the Mac. It lives in the menu bar with no dock icon, and works as a press-to-talk input method: the user holds a configurable hotkey (or uses a double-tap latch), speaks, and the transcribed text is inserted at the cursor in any application that accepts text input. Beyond live dictation, it can transcribe audio and video files (such as WAV, MP3, MP4, and MOV). It supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, with automatic language detection, plus customizable post-processing rules, overlay appearance, and microphone options. Preferences can sync across Macs via iCloud. It requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (M1 or later). The app is aimed at people who want faster text entry than typing, professionals needing quick transcription, and users with typing difficulties (arthritis, RSI, tremor, and similar accessibility needs).
