Getting Started with Voibe: A Complete Setup Guide
Learn how to install, configure, and start using Voibe for fast, private, offline dictation on your Mac. Complete setup guide in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
Before installing Voibe, make sure you have:
- A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, or M4 chip)
- macOS 13 (Ventura) or later
- About 2 GB of free disk space for the AI model
Step 1: Download and Install
Head to getvoibe.com and download the app. Open the downloaded file and drag Voibe to your Applications folder. Launch Voibe from your Applications folder or Spotlight.
Step 2: Grant Permissions
Voibe needs Accessibility permission to type text into other apps. When prompted, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and enable Voibe. You'll also need to grant Microphone access when prompted.
Step 3: Start Dictating
Click into any text field in any app — a document, email, chat, code editor, or browser. Press and hold the Fn key (or your configured hotkey). Speak naturally at your normal pace. Release the key when done — your text appears instantly.
Tips for Best Results
- Speak naturally — Voibe handles natural speech patterns, pauses, and filler words
- Use punctuation cues — say "period", "comma", or "new line" for formatting
- Try Developer Mode — if you use Cursor or VS Code, enable Developer Mode in settings for automatic file/folder name resolution
- Customize your hotkey — change the activation key in Voibe's settings if Fn doesn't work for you
