Free Mac dictation alternative
Free Wispr Flow alternative for Mac users.

Quick answer
What makes Voixe different?
Voixe does not try to be a full cross-platform workspace. It focuses on the Mac dictation loop: press a hotkey, talk, release, and paste locally.
On-device models
Parakeet and Whisper run locally through Core ML. Your speech is processed on your Mac.
Built for Mac flow
Hold-to-talk and double-tap modes work wherever your cursor is: Slack, Mail, Notes, Xcode, Chrome, and more.
