Why hands-free work choose ZenVoice.
It runs on your Mac, not in the cloud
Your voice, your words and your work never leave your Mac. There's no account and nothing to sign in to.
You pay once, not every month
Free for 14 days with no card, then $19 once for two Macs, the launch price for the first 100. No subscription, no word limits.
Made for hands-free work
The same engine, tuned to how you work: the examples on this page are what ZenVoice really types.
What slows hands-free work down today.
- Holding a key to dictate still means using the keyboard all day.
- Fixing punctuation and new lines by hand undoes the point of dictating.
- Long days of typing make RSI worse.
Three steps, anywhere.
- 1
Put your cursor anywhere
Any app with a text field: an editor, a browser, a chat, a form.
- 2
Press the shortcut and talk
⌃⌥Space, or hold a key. Your words appear as you speak.
- 3
It's written
Clean text lands at your cursor, in the tone of the app you're in.
What ZenVoice does for hands-free work.
Hands-free mode
Arm it once. Each dictation starts when you speak and ends on a pause.
Commands for structure
“New paragraph”, “open parenthesis”, “thinking emoji”: 35 spoken commands for punctuation, symbols and structure.
Edit by voice
Select text and say “make it shorter” or “turn it into bullet points”.
Tap, don't hold
Press ⌃⌥Space once to start and again to finish, tap Right ⌘, ⌥ or ⌃ once, or double-tap Fn, to lock dictation on, so you never hold a key down.
