One hotkey. Speak naturally. Text lands right where your cursor is. Runs 100% on Apple Silicon. No cloud, no internet, no account required.
macOS 14+ • Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
Works in every app on your Mac. No switching windows.
Hit ⌘ ⇧ V from anywhere. A floating capsule confirms you're recording.
Speaking is naturally faster than typing. WhisperKit transcribes locally on your Apple Silicon chip.
Transcribed text auto-pastes right where your cursor is. Slack, email, code editor, terminal. Anywhere.
Everything runs on your Mac. Nothing phones home.
Powered by WhisperKit. Apple's Neural Engine does the heavy lifting. Your audio never touches a server. Ever.
Text goes straight into your active window. No copy-paste dance. Speak in Slack, write in VS Code, draft in Mail.
Default is ⌘ ⇧ V but remap to any shortcut you want. Your keyboard, your rules.
Model pre-loads on launch. Transcription starts the moment you stop speaking. Under 1 second.
A subtle pulsing indicator at the top of your screen so you always know when you're recording. Toggle it on or off.
Lives in your menu bar, not your dock. Launches at login. Completely out of the way until you need it.
We're not a "cloud AI" with a privacy policy longer than a novel. Vibe Voice processes everything on-device using Apple's Neural Engine. No accounts. No telemetry. No data collection. Period.
Cloud transcription services charge monthly for something your Mac can do natively.
