Install, pick a key, done. It works in any app — Mail, Slack, Notion, wherever you write.
Just talk, like you would to a colleague. No commands to learn.
Your words land at your cursor — punctuated, formatted, ready to send.
This is why dictation never stuck: you got a wall of lowercase text and fixed it by hand. VoiceDict delivers your words finished — and it never rewrites you.
Commas, question marks, casing — matched to the language you speak.
A new paragraph when you change topic. A list when you count things off. An email layout when you dictate one.
"Um", "äh" and false starts don't make it into your text. Everything else stays word for word.
Dictation is the most personal text you produce — half-formed thoughts, names, drafts you'd never send. Your recording stays on your Mac, and speech recognition happens there too.
Your speech becomes text on your Mac — not on someone's server.
Speech recognition works without internet; optional Luna formatting does not.
Your audio isn't kept or sent to OpenAI.
