free dictation mac
Free Mac dictation without another subscription.
Voicely is for Mac users who want a practical free dictation app without moving every voice prompt into a paid cloud transcription workflow.
Free and open source
Voicely is MIT-licensed and published on GitHub, so the core workflow is inspectable and forkable.
Useful beyond a demo
It supports cursor dictation, call transcription, file transcription, and CLI/MCP access to transcripts.
Built for people who work with agents
The output is clean text that can become better prompts, meeting context, bug reports, and implementation notes.
