TESTIMONIALS<br>What users are saying

“I've tried almost every dictation tool out there, but VoxBee is the first one that actually stuck. As someone who needs to move fast, it's become an essential part of my daily workflow. I'm using it for everything from quick iMessage replies to drafting long-form docs. It completely closes the gap between thinking and writing. The fact that it works 100% offline gives me total peace of mind regarding my data, and the speed of the on-device transcription is honestly unmatched. It's rare to find an app that's this powerful and stays completely out of your way!”

CUSTOMIZATION<br>Choose your model. Make it yours.<br>Pick from on-device Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet models, or bring your own API key for cloud providers. Customize your workflow with 8 color themes, 8 waveform styles, flexible hotkeys, screenshot smart paste, and a personal dictionary.

7 Whisper Models<br>From Tiny (75MB, instant) to Large v3 (2.9GB, most accurate)

NVIDIA Parakeet Models<br>Fast English dictation and multilingual European transcription with on-device FastConformer models

11 Cloud Providers (BYO Key)<br>Prefer a hosted model? Bring your own API key for OpenAI, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs, Groq, xAI Grok, Mistral Voxtral, Cohere, Speechmatics, Alibaba Qwen3-ASR, or Soniox. A purple cloud badge stays visible whenever audio leaves the device.

On-Device Auto-Format (Beta)<br>On macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence, an on-device Apple Foundation Models pass adds punctuation, capitalization, and list cues. Local-only, off by default.

Text-to-Speech & Audio Studio<br>Read notes, summaries, transcripts, and history aloud from a floating dock. Six engines — System (free, on-device), OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram Aura, Groq PlayAI, Cartesia. Paste text into Audio Studio to preview voices and export to MP3 or WAV.

Google Drive Sync<br>Mirror your VoxBee library — meetings, transcriptions, and notes — to a folder in your own Drive. Scoped to files VoxBee creates (drive.file). Drag the folder anywhere in Drive and sync keeps working.

Unified Provider Keys<br>Drop in your OpenAI key once and it powers Whisper STT, GPT summaries, and TTS — no triple entry. One Keychain entry per provider, shared across STT, LLM, and TTS.

8 Color Themes<br>Ocean, Sunset, Aurora, Lavender, Ember, Mint, Monochrome, Neon

8 Waveform Styles<br>Classic bars, glow orb, particles, liquid blob, and more

Configurable Hotkeys<br>Option, Fn, or Control — your choice

Screenshot Smart Paste<br>Capture your screen while dictating. Image auto-pastes into Slack, VS Code, browsers, and 20+ apps.

Personal Dictionary<br>Teach VoxBee your name, jargon, and domain terms. Phonetic matching catches even misheard words.

Your words never leave your device.<br>While others send your audio to the cloud, VoxBee processes everything locally on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine.<br>Your Voice
