VoxTap

VoxTap is an offline voice-to-text app for macOS that inserts speech at the cursor in any application. It uses on-device AI, supports 25 languages, and includes a searchable transcription history plus a custom vocabulary plugin. A lifetime license costs $39, with a 45-minute free trial and a 14-day refund window.

VoxTap is a macOS dictation utility that turns speech into text at the cursor in any application. It runs entirely on the Mac using an on-device AI engine, so audio is never uploaded to a server. A single global hotkey starts recording, an overlay shows the live waveform, and the transcribed text is inserted wherever a text cursor is active. The tool is built for people who spend most of their day typing, particularly developers working in terminals, IDEs, and AI coding agents, but it works in any app that accepts text input. The core workflow is deliberately minimal: download the app, press the hotkey, speak, and the text appears. There are no model choices or settings panels to configure on first run. Version 2 introduces My Vocabulary, a plugin that lets users teach the engine custom terms such as brand names, technical jargon, and project-specific vocabulary. A model trained for this release detects and corrects those terms in every transcription. Other plugins include a Filler Word Filter, an Overlay Theme for recoloring the recording indicator, and a Voice-Dictated Marker. The update also reports up to 83 percent faster long transcriptions, a 7 percent base accuracy improvement, and a microphone silence warning. Accuracy is quoted at 95 percent or higher for English, with particular strength on technical and code-related speech. Real users report 90 percent or higher on custom vocabulary. The app supports 25 languages with auto-detect, and My Vocabulary is available in English, German, French, and Ukrainian. Every transcription is stored in a searchable history panel with timestamps and one-click copy. VoxTap is positioned against cloud-dependent dictation services and heavier voice tools that require model configuration, with privacy and simplicity as the main differentiators. VoxTap requires macOS 14 or later and runs best on Apple Silicon, though Intel Macs are supported. It is sold as a lifetime license for a single Mac, with separate multi-Mac business licenses available. A 45-minute trial requires no signup or credit card, and purchases carry a 14-day refund window. The product is built and supported by one person, an AI R&D director, and email support reaches him directly rather than a queue.
