Free open-source offline dictation, call transcription with diarization, and local audio-file transcription for macOS — ready for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, and any AI agent on your Mac.
Voicely widens the channel between what you know and what your agent can read. Offline dictation, call transcription, and audio-file transcription — each becomes clean text at your cursor or in your agent context.
Press ⌥ + space. Speak freely, with “ums” and restarts. Press again when you're done. Voicely waits for you to finish, transcribes locally, and drops clean voice-to-text at your cursor. No streaming to distract you mid-thought.
Record any call or room audio on your Mac. Voicely transcribes it cleanly with speaker diarization when available — then you paste the whole meeting into Claude as one block of context, without re-explaining what happened.
Drop any audio or video file. Voicely transcribes it locally with WhisperKit — your 90-minute interview is now 12 kB of clean text, ready to hand to your agent. No upload. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Voicely lives one shortcut away — in every app where you type on your Mac. Use it as a dictation app, a speech-to-text layer, or a voice input bridge for AI agents.
Some things Voicely moves directly. Some it packages so you can move them yourself. Either way, nothing is lost between your world and your agent.
You speak. Voicely hears you, cleans it up, and lands the text exactly where your cursor is. No middle step, no copy-paste, no window in between.
You record a call or drop an audio file. Voicely turns it into clean local transcription in one tap. Then you decide where it goes — paste it into Claude, keep it as a note, archive it.
For longer work, Voicely saves transcripts as files and exposes them through the CLI/MCP path. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Hermes can read the spoken context without another copy-paste loop.
