Every AI prompt, every email, every Slack reply — all of it typed. Voice to Mac lets you speak instead. Works everywhere, runs on your Mac, and sends nothing to the cloud.
No setup, no cloud signup, no training your voice. Open the app, pick a hotkey, and start talking anywhere you'd normally type.
Pick any modifier — ⌃ Control, ⌥ Option, or Fn. No awkward combos, no clicking menu bars.
Speak naturally. Voice to Mac handles filler words, punctuation, and even those weird Whisper hallucinations.
Release the key, and your words show up wherever the cursor is. Mail, Messages, Docs, anywhere.
Mail, Slack, Messages, Docs, ChatGPT, Notion, LinkedIn, browser forms — if there's a text cursor, Voice to Mac works there.
Five emails, ten Slack replies, three text messages, and a document. Here's what that looks like with and without your voice.
And these days, that's basically everyone with a Mac.
40 messages before lunch. Voice makes every reply quick — without that "sent from my phone" feeling.
First drafts flow faster when you talk them out. Edit with the keyboard later.
You're writing three paragraphs of context for every prompt. Speak it, don't type it.
Lecture notes, essay drafts, study summaries — all faster than typing, all on-device and private.
A year ago, you wrote a three-word Google search. Now you write three paragraphs to Claude or ChatGPT. Context is the new prompt engineering — and context takes words.
Voice is the obvious fix. You just need one that works reliably, everywhere, without shipping your audio to somebody else's server.
Most voice apps ship every word you speak to a server. Voice to Mac runs Whisper locally — the same model powering commercial cloud transcription — entirely on Apple Silicon. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Transcription runs on Apple's Metal GPU. No network calls, no latency, no account required.
Your voice is processed in memory and discarded. We can't hear you because we never do.
If you add an AI provider later, API keys live in the macOS Keychain — never in config files.
No usage tracking, no behavioral analytics. Opt-in crash reports send stack traces only — never transcripts or audio. Private by default.
Dictation is free for every Mac. AI cleanup — rewriting tone, formality, formatting — is the optional upgrade.
Fully functional. No trial, no expiry.
Bring your own AI key, own it forever.
AI cleanup included. No keys to manage.
No. Dictation, dozens of languages, all the Whisper models, smart cleanup, and app compatibility are free forever. You only pay if you want the optional AI polish layer.
Apple's dictation is fine for a quick note but stumbles on punctuation, context, and longer passages. Voice to Mac uses OpenAI's Whisper model — the gold standard for speech recognition — running locally on your Mac with better accuracy, longer recordings, and support for dozens of languages.
No. Transcription happens entirely on your Mac using Apple's Metal GPU. Even the optional AI cleanup sends text, never audio — and only if you explicitly turn it on.
macOS 13 or later, with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Whisper needs Metal for real-time performance.
Yes, and we built it specifically for that. See the developer page →
Yes — dozens of languages out of the box, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, and more. You can switch languages per-app or per-hotkey.
Free for every Mac. macOS 13+, Apple Silicon. 5 MB app, no signup required.
