Apple Dictation works for basic tasks, but it has limited accuracy, no automatic punctuation, and struggles with accents and technical terms. Voicy uses AI-powered speech recognition with over 99% accuracy, adds punctuation and grammar automatically, and works in every Mac app and website — not just Apple's native apps.
Apple Dictation is fine for quick notes, but most people run into the same frustrations: you have to say punctuation out loud, accuracy drops with fast speech or accents, and it doesn't always work reliably in non-Apple apps like Chrome or Slack. Voicy solves all of that — 99%+ accuracy, automatic punctuation, and it works everywhere on your Mac including browsers and third-party apps.
Yes. Voicy automatically detects your language — no need to switch settings. Just start speaking in any of the 50+ supported languages and Voicy handles the rest. You can even switch languages mid-sentence. This works across every app on your Mac.
Voicy supports over 50 languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Russian, Dutch, and many more. Language detection is automatic — you don't need to change any settings when switching languages.
Voicy uses state-of-the-art AI speech recognition that delivers over 99% accuracy — roughly twice as accurate as Apple's built-in dictation. The technology automatically detects your language, adds punctuation and grammar, and handles accents, technical vocabulary, and fast speech far better than macOS dictation.
Voicy offers a free trial so you can test all features. After the trial, plans start at $8.49/month. Because each transcription uses AI cloud processing, a completely free tier isn't available — but the trial gives you full access to decide if it's right for you.

If you need speech-to-text on Mac for regular work, the best option is usually the one that feels reliable in every app, not just the built-in one.
