A small company with a personal reason to exist

About Voicy.

Voicy is an independent speech-to-text app that helps people write with their voice across computers and phones.

I built Voicy because I wanted my dad to be able to write without fighting his keyboard. Today, thousands of people use it to get their words out more easily.

Me and my dad, the reason Voicy exists.

It started with one finger.

My dad is a workaholic. When he visited me in London, I watched him open his laptop and get to work every day. Every time he needed to write an email, he typed with one finger. Tick, tick, tick. Even a short message took ages.

He had tried dictation tools before, but they were not accurate enough for him to trust. Around the same time, I was using AI to dictate my own writing. I showed him, and he loved it.

Then I had a question: how could I make that experience available to him everywhere, not just in one app? That question became Voicy. I am a developer, so I started building a tool he could use wherever he needed to write.

How could I make dictation work everywhere for him?

What Voicy does

Good Software for good people.

That is our motto. It shapes what we build, how we price it, and how we treat the people who use it.

01

Your voice, everywhere

Use Voicy across your computer and phone, including the apps and websites where you already write. It is available on Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome, iOS, and Android.

02

Fast enough to keep up

Dictation should help a thought reach the page while it is still fresh. Voicy is built to feel quick and easy to use throughout the day.

03

Private by design

We do not store your recordings or transcripts in our database, and we do not use your recordings to train AI models.

04

Fair and human

We do our best to price Voicy below other dictation apps. Our disability discount needs no proof, and every support email is read by me and the team. We do not use AI to answer support emails.
