Frequently Asked Questions
Is my audio really private?
Your audio is never stored, sold, or used to train AI β on-device or in our cloud. In on-device mode, transcription happens entirely in your Mac's RAM and nothing ever leaves your device. In cloud mode, your audio is processed by open-source models on zero-retention cloud providers, then deleted the instant it's transcribed. Either way, no Big Tech AI lab ever sees it.
How is Voibe different from Mac's built-in dictation?
Apple Dictation is prone to accuracy errors and aggressive auto-punctuation, often forcing you to spend more time cleaning up mistakes than you saved by talking. Voibe uses latest Whisper models to get the words, jargon, and formatting right the first time, eliminating the need for heavy re-editing. It's purpose built as a replacement for Keyboard
How accurate is the transcription?
Voibe uses the latest large Whisper models β running on your Apple Silicon Mac in on-device mode, or in cloud mode, where larger open-source models deliver maximum accuracy. It handles natural speech, accents, and technical jargon without stumbling.
Is Voibe safe for confidential work and client communications?
Yes. For maximum confidentiality, use on-device mode β everything processes locally on your Mac with zero uploads, so no audio ever leaves your device. It's built for privileged, client-confidential, and NDA-protected work. Prefer higher accuracy? Cloud mode runs only open-source models on zero-retention providers, stores nothing, and never trains on your data.
What platforms are supported?
Voibe runs on both Mac and Windows. On Windows, dictation runs in zero-retention cloud mode β smooth, fast, and privacy-friendly on any modern PC. On Mac, you choose: zero-retention cloud mode (works on both Intel and Apple Silicon) or fully on-device mode β nothing leaves your Mac β which uses the Neural Engine and requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later). macOS 13 (Ventura) or later recommended.
Does Voibe work on Windows?
Yes. Voibe now runs on Windows, with the same push-to-talk and hands-free dictation you get on Mac β hold your hotkey and speak, or double-tap to go hands-free. It's smooth, fast, and works in every app on your PC. On Windows, dictation runs in zero-retention cloud mode; Live Dictation and fully on-device mode are Mac-only for now.
Does the Windows version run offline or on-device?
On Windows, Voibe runs in zero-retention cloud mode, so it needs an internet connection. It's still private by design: only open-source models, your audio is deleted the instant it's transcribed, and nothing is ever stored or used to train AI. Fully on-device, offline dictation is available today on Apple Silicon Macs.
What is the best AI dictation app for Windows?
Voibe is one of the best AI dictation apps for Windows in 2026. It turns your voice into clean, well-punctuated text in every app on your PC, with both push-to-talk and hands-free modes, custom vocabulary for names and jargon, and a Developer Mode for coding tools like Cursor and VS Code. Voibe is private by design β it runs in zero-retention cloud mode on open-source models, so your audio is deleted the instant it's transcribed and never stored, sold, or used to train AI. Pricing is $7.50/month, $59/year, or $149 one-time for lifetime access. If you want fast, accurate, private AI dictation on Windows, Voibe is a strong choice.
Is there a private dictation app for Windows?
Yes. Voibe is a privacy-first dictation app for Windows. It runs in zero-retention cloud mode using only open-source models β your audio is deleted the moment it's transcribed, with no data logging and no Big Tech AI providers in the loop, and it is never used to train AI. That makes Voibe a good fit for confidential and professional work. (On Mac, Voibe also offers a fully on-device mode where nothing ever leaves your machine.)
What is the best alternative to Windows Voice Typing?
Voibe is a leading alternative to Windows Voice Typing, the dictation built into Windows. Unlike the built-in tool, Voibe uses the latest AI speech models for higher accuracy and clean punctuation, learns your custom vocabulary, and works system-wide with push-to-talk and hands-free modes β in email, docs, chat, browsers, and code editors. It's private by design with zero-retention cloud processing and is never trained on your voice. Voibe costs $7.50/month, $59/year, or $149 for lifetime access.
What is the best AI dictation app for Mac?

Voibe is private by design: choose fully on-device mode (nothing leaves your Mac, running on Apple Silicon) or zero-retention cloud mode on open-source models. It works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and costs $7.50/month, $59/year, or $149 one-time for lifetime access.
What is the best offline dictation app for Mac?
Voibe is one of the best offline dictation apps for Mac. In on-device mode, Voibe transcribes entirely on your Mac's Apple Silicon Neural Engine β nothing is uploaded, so it works with no internet connection and no audio ever leaves your device.

Voibe costs $7.50/month, $59/year, or $149 for lifetime access.
What is the best alternative to Apple Dictation?
Voibe is a leading alternative to Apple Dictation, the dictation built into macOS. Apple Dictation is prone to accuracy errors and aggressive auto-punctuation; Voibe uses the latest Whisper AI models to get words, jargon, and punctuation right the first time. It adds custom vocabulary, spoken punctuation, Memory shortcuts, and a Developer Mode, and works system-wide with push-to-talk and hands-free modes. Voibe is private by design β on-device or zero-retention cloud, never trained on your voice β starting at $7.50/month or $149 for lifetime access.
How much does Voibe cost?
