What is dictation software?
The best dictation software for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
Voicy is dictation software that works in every app on your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. Voicy adds punctuation and grammar fixes automatically as you speak.
No more saying "comma" or "period" out loud.
Whether you're writing emails, drafting documents, or chatting in Slack, Voicy turns your voice into text with 99%+ accuracy.
Voicy handles what other dictation software can't: accents, technical terminology, fast speech, and multiple languages.
It detects your language automatically and adds commas, periods, and grammar without you saying a word.
For professionals, writers, students, and anyone who types extensively, it's dictation software that actually saves time instead of creating more editing work.
Why Voicy is better than your computer's built-in speech recognition.
Apple and Microsoft offer built-in dictation tools on their devices, but they come with serious limitations.
While their speech technology was market-leading at one point, latest advancements in AI have given us far superior dictation models.
Voicy uses the latest and greatest technology on the market.
Built-in tools offer basic punctuation; Voicy adds AI grammar fixes and voice editing.

Voicy costs $8.49/month, $82/year or $260 once for Lifetime, with 30 free minutes to try and no credit card required. Students and people with disabilities get 20% off.
Is free built-in dictation good enough, or should I pay for dictation software?
Built-in dictation (Win+H on Windows, Dictation on Mac) is fine for short notes and includes basic automatic punctuation. Paid dictation software is worth it if you write a lot every day: Voicy adds higher accuracy with accents and fast speech, AI grammar fixes, filler-word removal and voice editing commands in every app.

Voicy delivers 99%+ accuracy, doesn't store recordings or transcripts, offers offline dictation on desktop, and has a Team plan at $6.79/user/month (minimum 3 users).
