hey.
this isn’t an ai startup trying to raise a seed round.
it’s just a tool i needed, and maybe you do too. so i built it.
for me. for you.
for anyone who thinks faster than they type.
talk. pause. boom - it’s typed.
your voice, turned into clean text.
right where your cursor is.
no cloud. no setup. no guessing.
just a hotkey. you speak. it types.
that’s it.
this page is a waitlist.
if you wanna build it yourself, check the GitHub.
if you want early access to the prebuilt app
drop your email.
i’ll ping you when it’s ready to try.
no spam. pinky promise.
why i built it
i got tired of every speech-to-text tool needing an account, an internet connection, and a monthly fee.
writing a quick note shouldn't mean streaming my voice to someone’s server.
none of it felt private. or simple.i just wanted to hit a key, say my thought, and have it typed out. fast.
but that tool didn’t exist.
so i built vocorize.
a tiny mac app that listens when you tell it to,
and shuts up when you’re done.your voice stays on your machine.
it’s open source, because it should be.
i built it for myself and sharing it is my way of giving it back.
how it works
press your hotkey
speak your thoughts
let go
it types - wherever your cursor is
no popups. no waiting. no mystery.
who it’s for
innovators
slower typists
people with a lot on their mind
people with too many tabs open
anyone who’d rather talk than type :)
what you need to know
runs only on mac (Apple Silicon for now)
needs mic + accessibility permissions to do its thing
uses whisper.cpp under the hood
no server involved
open source forever
no analytics
no nonsense
pricing
right now, it’s free.
when the paid version drops, it won’t be a subscription trap.there’ll be a lifetime access option, one-time payment, all updates, no upsells.
buy it once. it’s yours, forever.because tools should feel like tools.
not like renting your own keyboard.oh, and it’s open source.
if you’d rather build it yourself, go for it.but if you wanna support the work, grab lifetime access and help me keep it alive :)
tl;dr
vocorize is a tiny mac app that turns your voice into text, fast, clean, and offline.
just press a hotkey, speak, release - it types right where your cursor is.
no accounts. no subscriptions. no internet required.
runs fully on-device using whisper.cpp.
apple silicon only.
open source.
free for now. one-time payment later.
i built it because nothing out there was simple, local, and actually yours.
