How to use Voibe
Voibe Dictation types what you say into any app on Mac and Windows. Voibe Work takes notes in your meetings on Mac, with no bot in the call. Here's how to use both.
Voibe Dictation: hold, speak, release
Hold the Fn key
Click into the editor, press and hold the Fn key (or your chosen hotkey).
Speak
Start speaking at your natural pace.
Release to insert
Once you're done, release the Fn key and your words appear instantly in the editor.
Make sure Voibe is running
After installation, Voibe runs in the background. Check the menu bar (Mac) or system tray (Windows) for the Voibe icon.
If you see it, Voibe is ready. You do not need to open it each time.
Take meeting notes without a bot
Voibe Work captures the meeting from your Mac, in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or any other app. Nothing joins the call but you.
1. Start notes as the meeting begins
Start meeting notes in Voibe when your call starts. No bot joins, so nobody has to admit a notetaker.
2. Let everyone know
Voibe reminds you to tell the other participants you're taking notes. Follow the recording consent rules that apply to your meetings.
3. Get your transcript and summary
When the meeting ends, Voibe writes the transcript and a summary using the template you pick for that kind of meeting. Both are saved on your Mac.
4. Copy, export or ask
Copy a transcript or summary in one click, export it as a PDF, or ask your meetings what was agreed and who owns what.

Pro tips
Change the hotkey
If Fn key conflicts with a shortcut in your mac, open Voibe settings and choose a different key. Pick a key not used by other shortcuts.
Custom terms
Add domain-specific words like product or company names to your custom dictionary. Voibe will spell them correctly in future dictations.
Developer Mode
Inside coding agents, say ‘file …’ or ‘folder …’. For multiples, say ‘files, A, B, and C.’ Voibe annotates the right files and folders in the conversation.
