Voicy
Voicy is a speech-to-text app that lets people dictate text 3x faster than typing in any app or website.
The Problem
People who write emails, documents, messages and other text daily are limited by how fast they can type, and built-in dictation tools from Apple and Windows are slow and inaccurate (around 90% accuracy with only basic punctuation). Users need a faster way to get their thoughts into text across many different apps and websites like Gmail, Word, Outlook, Slack, Notion, ChatGPT and Claude. Switching between apps or relying on native OS dictation means inconsistent accuracy, manual punctuation fixes, and lost time. This costs users speed and flow, especially for long-form writing, emails, and AI prompting workflows.
The Solution
Voicy is a voice-to-text application available on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and as a Chrome extension, letting users dictate into any app or website using a keyboard shortcut. It claims over 99% accuracy across more than 50 languages, automatic punctuation and formatting, and an AI writing assistant for tasks like rewriting emails professionally. The app offers an offline mode that downloads a speech model and transcribes locally without sending audio to Voicy's servers, supporting 25 European languages, which the company positions as privacy-focused since it states it does not store or use transcripts or recordings for any purpose including AI training. It integrates with common destinations like Gmail, Word, Outlook, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Docs, and offers a free trial with 30 minutes of recording time with no credit card required.
