For developers
Dictate the words around your code.
Commit messages, comments, docs, issues, and PR descriptions. Say them instead of typing them. WhisperVoca is offline, on-device voice-to-text that works in any editor on Mac and Windows.
Stay in your editor
Because WhisperVoca pastes at the OS level, you can dictate directly into VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, your terminal, GitHub issues, and pull request descriptions. No window switching, no copy-paste.
Code mode
A dedicated dictation mode formats output for technical writing, so commit messages, comments, and documentation come out clean instead of as run-on prose.
Built on open foundations
Transcription is powered by Whisper running locally (via whisper.cpp). The app itself is a lightweight native build, so it stays fast and out of your way.
Offline by default
Your voice is processed on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, which is useful when you are working with proprietary code or simply value keeping your audio private.

Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate code with WhisperVoca?
WhisperVoca is best for dictating natural-language text around your code, such as commit messages, comments, documentation, issues, and pull requests, using Code mode for clean formatting. It types into any editor at the OS level.
Does it work in VS Code and the terminal?
Yes. WhisperVoca works in any app with a text field, including VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and most terminals, because it pastes at the operating-system level.
Is my audio sent to the cloud?
No. Transcription runs locally using Whisper, so your audio never leaves your device. This is helpful when working with confidential or proprietary projects.
