How it works

From thought to text in three moves.

  1. 1

    Press your shortcut

    Install, pick a key, done. It works in any app — Mail, Slack, Notion, wherever you write.

  2. 2

    Say what you want to write

    Just talk, like you would to a colleague. No commands to learn.

  3. 3

    Done. It's typed.

    Your words land at your cursor — punctuated, formatted, ready to send.

Ready to send

No cleanup afterwards.

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.

On-device speech

Your voice never leaves your Mac.

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.

The math

Subscriptions are great — for the people selling them.

The popular dictation subscription runs $12–15 a month, every month, for as long as you keep talking. Here's the entire comparison.

FAQ

Short answers.

Is VoiceDict really not a subscription?

Really not. You pay €9.99 once per Mac and the license is yours for good. There is nothing to cancel because nothing renews.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 15 or later. Recording and speech recognition run on the Mac. Optional Luna formatting requires an internet connection and your own OpenAI API key.

How much disk space and memory does it use?

VoiceDict stores one speech model on your Mac, using about 460 MB of disk. Optional formatting runs through OpenAI, so there is no multi-gigabyte formatting model in memory or on disk.

Which languages can I dictate in?

VoiceDict supports these 25 languages:

  • Bulgarian
  • Croatian
  • Czech
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • English
  • Estonian
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Greek
  • Hungarian
  • Italian
  • Latvian
  • Lithuanian
  • Maltese
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Romanian
  • Russian
  • Slovak
  • Slovenian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Ukrainian
Does my audio go to the cloud?

No. Recording and speech recognition happen on your Mac, so audio is never uploaded. If you enable optional Luna formatting, only the recognized transcript text is sent to OpenAI through your own API account.

How does the free trial work?

Create an account, download VoiceDict and dictate with the full app for 7 days. No credit card up front. If it earns its place, buy your lifetime seat for €9.99.

Where do I download the app?

From your account page. Create your free account and it shows the download button plus your personal trial code — that code is what unlocks the app on your Mac. No public installer, no serial numbers to lose.

Can I move VoiceDict to a new Mac?

Yes. Deactivate the old Mac in your account and activate the new one. Your seat travels with you.

Can I use it on several Macs?

One seat activates one Mac. You can add more seats to the same account anytime — no separate accounts, no bundles to decode.

Ready when you are.

From here to dictating takes about two minutes.
