Dictate in any app with AI precision. Keep every word as a note.
VoiceSnap Pro is a dictation app for macOS and Windows. Put your cursor in the field you were about to type in — a reply, a Slack thread, a commit message, a search box — hold your shortcut, and talk. Let go, and the punctuated text is already there. Everything you say is also kept as a note you can search later.
Thanks for the quick turnaround — I read the draft this morning and it holds up. Let's ship it Thursday and write the release note on Friday.

Three steps, then it is muscle memory
Setup takes about a minute. After that you never open VoiceSnap Pro again — you hold a key, and the app stays out of the way.
Install it and pick your shortcut
Install VoiceSnap Pro on macOS or Windows and choose the key you will hold. Most people pick something their hand already rests near — Fn, right Option, or Ctrl + Space. Grant microphone access once. That is the entire setup.
Put the cursor anywhere, hold, and talk
Click into the field you were going to type in: an email reply, a Slack message, a ticket description, a terminal, a form on a site you have never visited. Hold the shortcut and speak normally. A small indicator shows VoiceSnap Pro is listening — nothing else on screen moves, and the window you were in keeps focus.
Release, and the text is already in the field
Let go of the key. The finished text appears at the cursor: capitalised, punctuated, split into paragraphs, with the "ums" taken out. There is no separate window to copy from, no paste step, and no pass back through the sentence to add commas.
A notes app that fills itself in
Dictation is usually write-only. You say the thing, it lands in a box, you send it, and it is gone. VoiceSnap Pro keeps a copy of everything you dictate, with the app you dictated it into and the time attached.
You can also capture a note with no target field at all: hold the Voice notes shortcut and talk, and it goes straight to your notes instead of into whatever was in front of you. Type one by hand if your hands are free — the same library holds both.
Search it the way you actually remember it: by a phrase you said, not a filename you never chose. And a note can keep growing: add to it by voice, re-transcribe it, tag it, rewrite or translate it with an AI action, or bring back an earlier version of it.
- Talk, or type — Capture a note by voice with one shortcut, or write it by hand. Both land in the same library.
- Search by what you said — Words or an exact phrase, across your notes, your dictations, or both — not just titles.
- Grouped by day, filtered by app — Find the message you dictated into Slack on Tuesday without scrolling Slack. Pinned notes stay on top.
- Version history and a 30-day Trash — Get back text you edited away, or a note you deleted last week.
Dictations keep only their text, on your computer — the audio is discarded after transcription. Voice notes keep their recordings in your licence's account, so you can play them back, for as long as you choose to keep recordings.

Nine things that decide whether you keep using dictation
Most dictation gets abandoned for the same reasons: the text lands in the wrong place, the punctuation is missing, or the cleanup costs more than typing would have. Each of these exists to remove one of those reasons.
It works in any app
VoiceSnap Pro types into the field your cursor is already in — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Word, Cursor, a terminal, a login form, a comment box on a site you have never opened before. There is no VoiceSnap Pro window to copy out of, because the text goes straight to where you were going to type it. That is the difference between dictation you use once and dictation you use every day.
Punctuation you never said
Commas, full stops, question marks and paragraph breaks come from the shape of your speech. You talk like a person, not like someone reading out "comma".
Filler words removed
"Um", "uh", "like" and the half-sentence you abandoned mid-thought are stripped before the text lands. What appears is what you meant to say.
Custom vocabulary
Add the names, product codes, acronyms and jargon you actually use, and they come out spelled your way the first time — no fixing the same word twice a day.
50+ languages, switchable mid-sentence
Dictate in more than fifty languages, and change language inside a sentence without opening a setting — the English product name in the middle of a German paragraph comes out right.
Voice commands for formatting
Say "new paragraph", "new line" or "bullet point" and VoiceSnap Pro formats instead of transcribing the words.
A searchable notes library
Every dictation is saved. Search weeks of them by a phrase you remember saying, and get the whole passage back.
Your voice is not training data
Nothing you dictate is used to train AI models — not ours, not anyone else's. The full detail is in the privacy policy, not buried in a settings screen.
One price, paid once
$39 one time, for macOS and Windows. No monthly fee, no per-minute meter, no seat to keep renewing.
The places people dictate into most
VoiceSnap Pro does not integrate with these apps — it types into them, the same way your keyboard does. These guides cover the setup and the quirks of each one.
The list is not a compatibility list. If you can type into it, you can dictate into it.
Your voice is not training data
VoiceSnap Pro needs the microphone and, on macOS, the Accessibility permission that lets it notice its shortcut and paste the text (setup also asks for Input Monitoring). No screen recording, no keystroke logging, no contacts, no location.
Leaves your device
- The audio of each dictation or note you start, with your chosen language, sent through our server to OpenAI and returned as text.
- Your notes, spoken or typed, and their recordings, stored encrypted in your licence's account so they reach your other computers.
- Unless you turn AI titles and AI tags off: a note's text, sent through our server to OpenAI to write its title and pick among the tags you made.
- Only when you run an AI action: the text you run it on, from a note or a dictation, sent through our server to OpenAI and returned reworked.
- Your licence key and an identifier for each computer, to check the licence.
- Only if you turn it on: the notes your own AI assistant reads on your computer, which that assistant sends to its provider.
Stays on your device
- Your dictation history, including which app each dictation went into — apart from the text of a dictation you run an AI action on.
- The contents of the fields you dictate into — the app never reads them.
- Your shortcut and microphone settings.
Never happens
- Your audio or text used to train AI models — ours or anyone else's.
- Your dictations sold, rented or handed to advertisers.
- Your speech attached to an advertising profile.
The microphone is live only during a dictation or note you start — while you hold the shortcut, or until you press the hands-free shortcut again.
Next to the dictation already on your machine
macOS and Windows both ship a dictation feature, and both are free. Here is where VoiceSnap Pro is different — and where the built-in one may be all you need.
| Capability | VoiceSnap Pro | Apple Dictation | Windows Voice Typing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on macOS and Windows | Yes | macOS only | Windows only |
| Types into the field your cursor is in | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Formatting added for you | Punctuation and paragraph breaks | Punctuation | Punctuation |
| Filler words removed automatically | Yes | No | No |
| Custom vocabulary for names and jargon | Yes | No | No |
| Language switching mid-sentence | Yes | One language at a time | One language at a time |
| Searchable library of past dictations | Yes | No | No |
| Price | $39 once | Free with macOS | Free with Windows |
Built-in dictation is free and gets better with every OS release. If you dictate an occasional message on one machine, use it — this table is for the case where you dictate all day, on two operating systems, into apps that were never told about dictation.
The app is a waitlist. These already work.
We built 32 small tools while VoiceSnap Pro is in development — a microphone test, speech to text, cleanup for text that came out of a transcript or a chatbot. No account, no install, no trial that expires.
Microphone Test
Live level meter, device picker and instant playback. Nothing leaves the tab.
Sound Test
Left/right, stereo, phase and a 20Hz-20kHz sweep. No microphone needed.
Decibel Meter
Live estimated dB, average and peak from your mic, with calibration. Nothing is recorded.
Speech to Text
Talk, get text, copy it out. No signup and no file upload.
Voice Typing Test
Measure your speaking WPM and dictation accuracy against a set passage.
Audio to Text
Transcribe a recording with Whisper on your own device. Export TXT, SRT or VTT.
Almost all of them run entirely in your browser — nothing you type or drop in is uploaded, and none of them need an account. Speech to Text and the Voice Typing Test are the exception: your browser's own speech engine does the listening, which in Chrome means the audio goes to Google. Each of those two says so on its own page.
