VoVox.

A new take on the workflow.

Vox captures speech with a keyboard shortcut, transcribes it locally and places cleaned text on the clipboard. Its maker built it as a personal alternative to Wispr Flow; transcription and cleanup models require an initial download.

What you can switch today.

Use local hotkey-based dictation and clipboard insertion as an alternative to Wispr Flow for everyday writing.

1. Download Vox for a supported Mac or Windows computer and complete its initial model setup.
2. Try the hold-to-talk shortcut in a non-sensitive document and paste the generated text.
3. Compare recognition and cleanup quality with your usual dictation workflow.

Where it falls short.

Requires a one-time model download. macOS support requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or newer; Windows support requires Windows 10 or 11 on x64.
