FAQ
How is Voicy different from Apple's built-in dictation on Mac?
Apple Dictation works for basic tasks, but it has limited accuracy, no automatic punctuation, and struggles with accents and technical terms. Voicy uses AI-powered speech recognition with 99%+ accuracy, adds punctuation and grammar automatically, and works in every Mac app and website — not just Apple's native apps.
Why shouldn't I just use Apple Dictation on my Mac?
Apple Dictation is fine for quick notes, but most people run into the same frustrations: you have to say punctuation out loud, accuracy drops with fast speech or accents, and it doesn't always work reliably in non-Apple apps like Chrome or Slack. Voicy solves all of that — 99%+ accuracy, automatic punctuation, and it works everywhere on your Mac including browsers and third-party apps.
Does Voicy work with multiple languages on Mac?
Yes. Voicy automatically detects your language — no need to switch settings. Just start speaking in any of the 50+ supported languages and Voicy handles the rest. You can even switch languages mid-sentence. This works across every app on your Mac.
What languages does Voicy's Mac dictation app support?
Voicy supports 50+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Russian, Dutch, and many more. Language detection is automatic — you don't need to change any settings when switching languages.
What speech to text technology does Voicy use on Mac?
Voicy uses state-of-the-art AI speech recognition that delivers 99%+ accuracy — roughly twice as accurate as Apple's built-in dictation. The technology automatically detects your language, adds punctuation and grammar, and handles accents, technical vocabulary, and fast speech far better than macOS dictation.
How much does Voicy's Mac speech to text app cost?
Voicy offers a free trial so you can test all features. After the trial, plans start at $8.49/month. Because Voicy runs advanced AI transcription, a completely free tier isn't available — but the trial gives you full access to decide if it's right for you.
Is my Mac dictation private? Do you store what I say?
No. Voicy doesn't store recordings or transcripts. Speech is processed in the cloud and discarded; with offline dictation (Mac, Windows and Linux apps, 25 languages) audio never leaves your computer.
What is speech to text and how does it work on Mac?
Speech to text converts spoken words into written text in real time. On Mac, you can use Apple's built-in Dictation for basic voice typing, or use Voicy for more accurate speech-to-text with automatic punctuation that works across browsers, desktop apps, and everyday text fields.
Does Mac have built-in speech to text?
Yes. Turn it on in System Settings › Keyboard › Dictation, then press the mic key. Voicy adds AI punctuation, grammar fixes and voice editing in every app.
How do I use speech to text on a MacBook?
Turn on Dictation in System Settings › Keyboard, or install Voicy, press your shortcut in any app and speak.
Can I use Voicy for speech to text in Google Docs and Word on Mac?
Yes. Voicy works in every app on your Mac — Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Pages, Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Notion, and thousands more. Just press your keyboard shortcut and start talking. Your dictated text appears wherever your cursor is, with automatic punctuation.
