How to use Voibe

Voibe is a keyboard replacement that runs quietly in the background, waiting for you to speak.

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 Mac status bar for the Voibe icon.

If you see it, Voibe is ready. You do not need to open it each time.

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.

Where Voibe fits in your day

Coding agents

Speak full thoughts for prompts, mention file and folder names as you think of them. Developer Mode helps with names and paths inside the active workspace.

Chats with AI

Say intent, context, and constraints in one clear message so tools respond with fewer follow ups.

Docs and notes

Talk through ideas at the speed you think, then refine structure with headings and sections.

Email and messaging

Say the first draft out loud, then edit tone and details before sending.

Project and task tools

Talk through the task, outcome, and acceptance notes in plain language. Convert to checklists as needed.

Research and browser

Dictate findings, questions, and summaries while you read, without breaking focus.
