Voice Keyboard Pro

Voice Keyboard Pro is a Mac menu bar app and an iPhone keyboard. Hold a key, speak, let go, and clean, punctuated text lands at the cursor in any app on your Mac or iPhone. There is no app to open and no window to click into: it lives in your menu bar, and on the iPhone keyboard you already use.

How it works

Press and hold the key you choose (Left Control by default) and the mic is ready. Talk the way you would talk to a person; punctuation is worked out for you. Let go, and your words land at the cursor, in a chat app, an email, a code editor, a terminal or the browser.

Key Features

Instant transcription: most dictations land in well under a second after you let go of the key.

Smart Rewrite: fixes punctuation and matches the tone of the app you are in, while keeping your words.

Speak the controls: say "new line", "comma" or "delete that" for formatting by voice.

Personal vocabulary: add the names, jargon and product terms you use.

AI commands: select text, hold your key and Space, and ask for it shorter, friendlier, a reply or a subject line.

Voice snippets: say a short trigger to drop in a signature, an address or a standard reply.

History and stats: everything you have dictated, searchable on your Mac, with words per minute and time saved.

19 languages: or let it detect the language as you speak.

Offline mode: on Apple silicon, dictation can run fully on your Mac.

Meeting notes: record a call or a meeting in the room and get a live transcript with speakers labeled, then a summary and action items you can email.

iPhone keyboard: a full keyboard with a microphone built in, swipe typing and predictions, live meeting transcription and a Dynamic Island activity.

Use Cases

Patient notes, case notes, essays, first drafts, inbox and chat replies between meetings, and meeting summaries, at speaking speed instead of typing speed.

Getting Started

Download for Mac (macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel) and get the iPhone keyboard from the App Store. Hold Left Control in any app and start talking.
