IraVoice

Capture speech privately on your Mac and instantly turn it into polished text or structured technical specifications. This on-device dictation app is built for Apple silicon Macs, helping writers, developers, engineers, and professionals use voice input without sending transcripts to the cloud.

Private Speech-to-Text That Runs Entirely on Your Mac

Instead of relying on cloud-based dictation services, this app performs speech recognition locally using Apple's on-device AI models. Whether you're writing documents, taking notes, coding, or planning projects, your voice stays on your Mac throughout the transcription process.

For more structured workflows, Voice-to-Spec transforms spoken ideas into organised Markdown documents that can be reviewed or shared with coding assistants when you choose.

Why It Matters

Many speech-to-text tools depend on cloud processing, requiring users to upload sensitive conversations and personal notes to external servers. This app takes a different approach by performing speech recognition and text formatting directly on Apple silicon Macs using on-device AI models. With private dictation, Voice-to-Spec document generation, offline operation after initial setup, account-free licensing, and transparent privacy practices, users can capture ideas quickly while maintaining full control over where their voice data is processed and when structured documents are shared.

Turn Your Voice Into Private, Structured Workflows on macOS

Dictate polished text into any application, transform spoken ideas into structured Markdown specifications, process speech entirely on your Apple silicon Mac, keep transcripts private with local AI models, review and refine documents using Apple Intelligence, and optionally share finished specifications with external coding assistants only when you decide.
