How It Works

Start dictating in three steps

Install the Mac app

Download the universal binary. Works natively on Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel Macs — no Rosetta required. Grant microphone and accessibility permissions.

Press your hotkey and speak

Activate Voxlen from any Mac app with a keyboard shortcut. Speak naturally — Voxlen transcribes in real time with AI grammar correction built in.

Text appears instantly

Your words are injected directly into the focused app using macOS accessibility APIs — Word, Outlook, browsers, legal software, anything with a text field.

Features

Built for professionals on Mac

Every feature is designed around the needs of lawyers, accountants, and other professionals who type for a living.

🍎

Native Apple Silicon performance

Voxlen ships as a universal macOS binary. On M-series Macs it runs blazing fast with minimal CPU and battery impact, taking full advantage of the Neural Engine.

🎯

Works in any Mac app

Microsoft Word, Outlook, Apple Pages, Mail, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Notion, Google Docs, legal practice management software, accounting platforms — if it has a text field, Voxlen works in it.

🧠

AI grammar correction

Powered by Claude and GPT-4o-mini — included in your subscription, no API keys to manage. Spoken words are automatically corrected for grammar and punctuation — so your draft comes out polished.

🔒

Privacy-first design

Voxlen never stores your audio or transcripts — requests pass through the voxlen.ai proxy to AI providers under zero-content-retention controls, and nothing is retained. Critical for lawyers and accountants. All learning happens locally on your Mac — confidentiality by architecture.

📈

Learns your vocabulary

Voxlen's on-device flywheel learns your terminology — legal citations, accounting terms, client names — and improves accuracy over time without ever sending your data to the cloud.

⚡

Real-time streaming transcription

Powered by Deepgram Nova-2 for ultra-low-latency streaming, or OpenAI Whisper for maximum accuracy. Switch engines based on your needs with one click.
