On-device speech
Apple Speech framework. Audio never hits our servers.

Private by design.
Voice transcription uses Apple's Speech framework, which supports on-device recognition — your audio is never sent to VoxFlow's servers. When AI enhancement is on (you can turn it off anytime), your transcribed text and optional context (clipboard, field snippet) are sent to a third-party AI service for processing, but no text is stored on our servers. We log only anonymous metadata (intent type, language, text length) to maintain quality and track usage quotas.

Voice-to-text for Mac, in any app
VoxFlow is a macOS menu bar voice-to-text app. Press Option + Tab, speak, and transcribed, AI-enhanced text is injected at your cursor in any Mac app — Mail, Slack, Notes, or a code editor. Speech recognition uses Apple's Speech framework with on-device support, so your audio never reaches VoxFlow's servers; only the optional AI enhancement step sends already-transcribed text to the backend.
VoxFlow supports 12 recognition and 12 output languages (plus Auto), runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and is distributed directly with Sparkle auto-updates — not through the Mac App Store. It is free for 50 AI enhancements per month, with paid plans at $4.99 (Starter), $9.99 (Pro), and $19.99 (Max) per month.
Frequently asked questions
How do I dictate on a Mac with VoxFlow?
- Press Option + Tab anywhere on your Mac, speak naturally, then press it again to stop. VoxFlow transcribes your speech, optionally polishes it with AI, and injects the finished text at your cursor — in any app, from Mail to Slack to a code editor. No mode switching, no separate window.
Is VoxFlow's voice-to-text private?
- Yes. VoxFlow uses Apple's speech recognition with on-device support, and no audio is sent to VoxFlow's servers. Only the optional AI enhancement step sends already-transcribed text to the backend — so your dictation stays more private than cloud-only tools that stream your audio.
How accurate is VoxFlow's dictation?
- VoxFlow uses Apple's speech recognition with on-device support, which is highly accurate for clear speech across its 12 recognition languages. Optional AI enhancement then fixes punctuation, grammar, and phrasing automatically, so the injected text reads like polished writing rather than a raw transcript — useful for emails, messages, and notes.
What is the best voice-to-text app for Mac?
- The best Mac voice-to-text app depends on your priority: VoxFlow stands out for transcription privacy — no audio is sent to VoxFlow's servers — plus AI rewriting that works in any app, starting free with 50 AI enhancements per month and paid plans from $4.99/month. Wispr Flow and superwhisper are popular alternatives with different tradeoffs around cloud processing and pricing.
How is VoxFlow different from macOS Dictation?
- macOS Dictation transcribes speech literally into text fields. VoxFlow adds an AI layer on top: it auto-punctuates, fixes grammar, and rewrites your dictation to fit the frontmost app — professional in Mail, concise in Slack, casual in WhatsApp — then injects it anywhere via Option + Tab, including apps where Dictation struggles.
What's the best Wispr Flow alternative for Mac?
- VoxFlow is a strong Wispr Flow alternative for Mac users who want Apple's speech recognition with on-device support and no audio sent to VoxFlow's servers. Both inject AI-polished text into any app via a hotkey, but VoxFlow supports 12 recognition and 12 output languages (plus Auto) and starts free, with paid plans from $4.99/month.
How does VoxFlow compare to superwhisper?
- Both VoxFlow and superwhisper offer Mac dictation with AI cleanup. VoxFlow's emphasis is per-app context awareness — it detects the frontmost app and adapts tone automatically — plus intent detection for proofreading, summarizing, translating, and email queries. Pricing starts free, then $4.99, $9.99, and $19.99 per month by AI-enhancement volume.
How much does VoxFlow cost?
- VoxFlow has four plans: Free ($0, 50 AI enhancements per month), Starter ($4.99/month, 200), Pro ($9.99/month, 600), and Max ($19.99/month, 2,000). The monthly limits apply only to the optional AI text-enhancement step, not to basic voice-to-text dictation. No per-seat pricing or annual lock-in is required to start.
Is VoxFlow on the Mac App Store?
- No. VoxFlow is distributed directly as a notarized download (a .dmg) rather than through the Mac App Store, with automatic updates delivered via Sparkle. Direct distribution lets VoxFlow inject text into any app and run non-sandboxed, which the Mac App Store sandbox would block. You download it from the VoxFlow website.
How many languages does VoxFlow support?
- VoxFlow supports 12 speech-recognition languages for dictation — including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Spanish — and 12 output languages for AI enhancement (plus an Auto option that matches your recognition language). You can speak one language and have VoxFlow translate and polish the result into another.
