How to use Voibe
After installation, Voibe runs automatically in the background, waiting for you to speak.
Make sure Voibe is running
Check the top status bar. The Voibe icon means the app is running and ready.
Hold the Fn key
Hold Fn or your chosen hotkey in any editor or text field.
Speak
Start speaking. Voibe listens and types for you.
Release to insert
Let go of the key. Your words appear where the cursor is.
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.
Power 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.
Troubleshooting tips
- Check that Voibe is running
Look for the Voibe icon in the Mac status bar. If you see it, Voibe is active.
- Click into the target text field
Text goes only to the app with the cursor. Place the caret where you want text.
- Allow microphone access
System Settings > Privacy and Security > Microphone. Enable Voibe.
- Allow accessibility access
System Settings > Privacy and Security > Accessibility. Enable Voibe.
- If no text appears
Confirm the caret is visible in a text field. Try another app. Open Voibe from Applications.
- If the hotkey does not work
Change the hotkey in Voibe settings to avoid conflicts with macOS or other apps.
- If words are typed incorrectly
Speak at a steady pace. Add uncommon words to the custom dictionary.
