Voibe: your questions, answered
The most common questions about Voibe in one place: languages and accuracy, privacy, trial and refunds, system requirements, and activation. Every answer starts with the direct sentence; details follow. Pricing questions live on the pricing page, installation questions on the download page.
What is Voibe?
Voibe is an AI dictation app from Essence AI Ltd. for Mac and Windows: hold a key, speak, release — the text lands right at your cursor, about 5x faster than typing. On top of that come a fully local On-Device Mode (on Apple Silicon) and a Developer Mode for people who write code.
Is Voibe safe? Do my recordings get uploaded?
In On-Device Mode on Apple Silicon, recognition runs entirely on your machine — nothing gets uploaded. Intel Macs and Windows use the cloud mode through a zero-retention provider that doesn't keep your data. Since v2.25, the local and cloud engines work as a pair with automatic fallback.
Does Voibe work offline?
On Apple Silicon, yes: On-Device Mode needs no connection, and since v2.25 the local and cloud engines come with automatic fallback. Intel Macs and Windows rely on the cloud mode, so they need an internet connection to transcribe.
How does the free trial work?
Every plan includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card required; cancel within the trial and you pay nothing. The trial is the full product: unlimited dictation, Developer Mode, Memory, custom vocabulary, and smart punctuation.
How do I get a refund?
There's a 30-day money-back guarantee: within 30 days of purchase, an email to support is all it takes — Lemon Squeezy handles the payment and the refund. Plan prices are on the pricing page.
What are the system requirements?
On the Mac you need macOS 13 or newer; Intel and Apple Silicon are both supported, and On-Device Mode requires Apple Silicon. Windows has its own build. The full breakdown is on the download page.
How do I activate Voibe?
After installing, sign in with the email address you registered and enter the 6-digit code from the email — that's it. The license is tied to your email account.
How is Voibe different from the dictation built into macOS?
Voibe is built as a permanent, system-wide input method: one hotkey that dictates into any app at the cursor — with custom vocabulary, Memory shortcuts, spoken structure commands, and Developer Mode for code. And unlike built-in dictation software, it keeps growing: 11 releases shipped between February and July 2026.
Where can I find Voibe reviews?
Wanting real-world takes on the Voibe app before you commit makes sense. Public user feedback lives on the Product Hunt page, and product demos are on the official YouTube channel — both are linked from our about page. The most reliable data point is still your own: 7 days free, no credit card.
Is there a Voibe discount code that actually works?
Yes — enter the public code VOIBE20 at checkout and save 20% on any plan. You can copy it with one click on the pricing page; if the code ever lapses, that page gets updated right away.
Where do I go when something breaks?
The official help center covers hotkeys that stop responding, missing audio, accuracy, startup problems, and Bluetooth headsets. The questions English-speaking users ask most are answered on this page — and the contact page has an email that reaches us directly.
