Work the way you thinkSpeak to write. Listen to understand.

Transcription, cleanup, and narration run entirely on your Mac, so the audio and text you process never leave the device. Network requests are limited to the first model download, license activation and checks, update checks, optional pseudonymous content-free diagnostics and crash reports (both switch-off-able in Settings), and feedback you choose to send.

Download the notarized DMG and use every feature free for 7 days, no card required. After that, a one-time license unlocks it for good.

A perpetual license unlocks Vocaldi on 2 Macs and includes every beta update plus every Vocaldi 1.x update, with a 14-day no-questions refund. Vocaldi 2.0 and later major versions are not included. Pay once. There’s no subscription, ever.

macOS 14 or later on an Apple Silicon Mac.

The App Store sandbox blocks the system access Vocaldi needs: typing into any app and listening for a global shortcut. A signed, notarized DMG is the honest way to ship that.

It’s in daily use and ships a steady changelog. If something breaks, email us directly. Beta fixes land quickly, and your license includes every beta and Vocaldi 1.x update.

Yes. After setup and activation, core dictation and read-aloud work offline on a plane or off the grid. Internet access is still needed for model downloads, license activation and occasional checks, updates, and anything you choose to send through feedback or diagnostics.
