Mac Speech Recognition… but better

Voicy adds speech to text functionality to your Mac computer allowing you to use voice dictation on every app on your computer.

This includes Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Notepad, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.

Enjoy over 99% accuracy and lighting fast transcriptions, wherever you're working.

Simply start the Voicy speech-to-text mac app and click on the keyboard shortcut to record yourself.

Once you're done, your dictated text will appear in any app that you're in.

Voice dictation in your mac has never been easier!
If you need more help, check out this guide on how to use speech-to-text on your Mac.

Why is Voicy better than Apple's native speech recognition feature?

Apple used to offer a state-of-the-art speech recognition service on its Mac devices, but times have changed.

Thanks to developments in the AI space, we now have far more accurate and fast voice to text models.

These models haven't been added to Apple's native services, and very likely won't be added any time soon.

Additionally, at Voicy our only focus is to make speech-to-text as great as possible. We don't have to or want to focus on anything else.
