Your voice, instantly as text
Hold a key, speak, release. Your words appear wherever your cursor is. Voiceavel is a native macOS menu bar app — not a browser extension, not a web tool. It works system-wide with every app on your Mac.

Frequently asked questions
Yes! The free version includes Local AI (faster-whisper) which runs entirely on your Mac. No account needed, no time limits. You get 1,000 words per day — plenty for casual use. Pro ($29/year or $89 lifetime) unlocks unlimited words plus OpenAI and Groq providers for better accuracy.
Yes. Voiceavel Pro unlocks the ability to use OpenAI and Groq providers, but you use your own API keys. This means you pay OpenAI/Groq directly for usage (~$0.006/min for OpenAI). We sell the software, not the AI service.
Voiceavel is distributed outside the Mac App Store. To open it: right-click the app → Open → click Open in the dialog. You only need to do this once. After that it works normally.
Voiceavel needs Microphone access (to record your voice) and Accessibility/Input Monitoring (to detect the keyboard shortcut and paste text). macOS will prompt you to grant these on first launch.
Over 100 languages including English, Serbian (Latin & Cyrillic), German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Korean, and many more. Language can be auto-detected or manually set.
Free users can use it on 1 device. Pro users can activate on up to 3 devices. You can deactivate a device from your dashboard to free up a slot.
