Write 3x faster with your voice

On average, voice typing can increase the speed of writing by 3x.

Instead of using your keyboard, simply click on the keyboard shortcut, start speaking, and you will see the text on your screen instantly.

Additionally, you always get perfect grammar and punctuation.

No plugin needed

Voicy types into Obsidian like a keyboard, so there's nothing to install in your vault.

Your notes stay plain Markdown, just like the ones you type.

Offline dictation for a private vault

Offline dictation in the Voicy desktop app keeps your audio on your computer.

It works in 25 languages on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Accurate voice to text for your Obsidian notes

Obsidian's built-in voice vs Voicy

Obsidian doesn't include voice typing. Most options are community plugins, which often need an API key or record audio first and transcribe it afterwards. You can also use your computer's built-in dictation, such as Apple Dictation on Mac or Win+H on Windows.

Voicy needs no plugin and works the same in every note, with 99%+ accuracy and automatic punctuation. If your vault is private, offline dictation in the Voicy desktop app keeps your audio on your computer.
