Voibe is an offline voice dictation app for macOS that lets you write at the speed of thought. It works everywhere (Mail, Notes, Browsers, Slack, VS Code, ChatGPT, etc.), making it easy to draft messages, capture ideas, and produce long content without breaking concentration.
Unlike cloud dictation tools, Voibe runs fully on device using a local Whisper model. Your audio does not get uploaded, so private work stays local and dictation keeps working offline without any internet dependency. The experience is built for low latency, so words appear quickly while you talk and you spend less time waiting and correcting.
How it works
1. Click into the editor you want to type
2. Just hold your favorite hotkey and speak naturally
3. Release the hotkey and your words appear instantly on the editor you are on.
