Speak. It's written.
Native push-to-talk dictation for macOS and Windows. Hold a key, talk, release — your words land at the cursor. Bring your own API key: your voice, your cloud, zero subscriptions.
Everything dictation needs. Nothing it doesn't.
A tiny native app that stays out of your way.
Push-to-talk
A global hotkey you choose. Hold to record, release to stop — text is typed straight into any app: editors, chat, email, IDE.
Bring your own key
Paste your own API key and pay providers at cost. No middleman, no subscription, no usage caps invented by us.
Three provider families
OpenAI-compatible endpoints (incl. Whisper), Qwen / DashScope, and Google speech — switchable per language and budget.
Featherweight native
Built with Tauri + Rust: an under 15 MB binary, instant start, negligible RAM. No Electron, no tray-resident bloat.
Your audio, your rules
Audio goes only to the provider you configured. No telemetry, no accounts, no analytics — the code is open, check it.
macOS & Windows
One mental model on both desktops, localized interface in English and Russian, DMG and installer for your platform.
Three seconds from speech to text
No windows to open, no files to manage.
Hold the hotkey
Press and hold your chosen shortcut in any application. The menu-bar indicator lights up.
Speak naturally
Dictate a sentence, a paragraph or a commit message. Punctuation by voice, too.
Release — done
Transcribed text is inserted at your cursor. That's the whole workflow.
Bring a key, pick a brain
Configure one or all three. VoiceDo never proxies your traffic.
OpenAI-compatible
Whisper and any endpoint that speaks the OpenAI audio API — including self-hosted servers on your LAN.
