Who it's for

  • Writers and professionals drafting emails, notes, and other text across Mac applications by voice.
  • Coders and other Mac users who want to dictate prompts or text into their existing apps.
  • Users who want local speech transcription and custom vocabulary for names and product terms.

Not the right fit if…

  • People using non-Apple-Silicon Macs or macOS versions earlier than 14.4: VoiceInk requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14.4 or later.
  • Teams seeking a Windows or Linux desktop dictation app: the product page describes the Mac app and does not list desktop support for those platforms.

How it fits your workflow

Download the Mac app and dictate into the application where you are writing. VoiceInk transcribes speech with local AI models and can remove filler words, format longer notes, or shape spoken updates into emails.

For revision, select text and speak an instruction to replace it with a clearer version. Add custom words or saved replacements for terms and phrases you use often; project notes can also be saved to a Markdown journal.
