open source dictation mac
Open-source dictation for Mac, not a black box.
Voice input often contains private work, ideas, and conversations. Voicely keeps the product open source so the dictation and transcription workflow can be inspected instead of taken on faith.
MIT-licensed code
The public project is available on GitHub under the MIT license.
Local-first design
Voicely is built around local macOS transcription instead of making a hosted speech service the default path.
Developer-friendly context
CLI and MCP flows make transcripts accessible to coding agents and local automation.
Questions
Why open source matters for dictation?
Dictation often captures sensitive context; inspectable code reduces black-box trust.
