How is Voicy different from Outlook's dictation?
Outlook does not have built-in voice typing. On Windows, you can use the Win+H shortcut for basic dictation, but it has no automatic punctuation, struggles with accents, and does not work well in Outlook on the web. Voicy uses AI-powered speech recognition with 99%+ accuracy, adds punctuation automatically, and works in both the Outlook desktop app and Outlook web — plus every other app on your computer.
How much does Voicy cost?
Voicy offers a free trial so you can test all features before committing. After the trial, plans start at $8.49/month. Because each transcription uses AI processing in the cloud, a completely free tier is not available — but the trial gives you full access to decide if it is right for you.
Is my dictation private? Do you store what I say?
No. Voicy does not store your voice recordings or your transcriptions. Your speech is processed and immediately discarded. What you dictate in Outlook stays between you and your inbox — we never see your emails.
How does Voicy work in Outlook?
Voicy works in both the Outlook desktop app and Outlook on the web. For the desktop app, Voicy runs in the background and adds dictation to any text field — just press your keyboard shortcut and start speaking. For Outlook web, install the Voicy Chrome extension and the dictation element appears right next to your email. Click the microphone, speak, and your text appears with automatic punctuation.
Does Voicy work with Microsoft 365 and business Outlook?
Yes. Voicy works with personal Outlook.com accounts, Microsoft 365 business accounts, and Exchange-hosted Outlook. Whether you are sending emails from your personal or work account, Voicy works exactly the same way.
What languages does Voicy support for Outlook dictation?
Voicy supports over 50 languages including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, and many more. Language detection is automatic — you can even switch languages mid-sentence while dictating an email in Outlook.
Can I use Voicy to reply to emails in Outlook?
Yes. Voicy works in any text field in Outlook — new emails, replies, forwards, calendar invites, and even Teams chat if you use it through the browser. Anywhere you can type in Outlook, you can dictate with Voicy instead.
Does Voicy work in the Outlook desktop app or just the web version?
Both. The Voicy desktop app (available for Windows and Mac) works in the Outlook desktop application and every other app on your computer. The Voicy Chrome extension works in Outlook on the web. Either way, you get 99%+ accuracy with automatic punctuation.
