voibe What's new in Voibe
Give Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps you use access to all your meetings, so they can use them in your work. Meeting MCP comes with Voibe Work.
Connect Your AI Apps
Click MCP on the Meetings page to connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code or another app, then try asking: "Go through this month's customer calls and write up the feature requests." Turn it off any time to stop every AI app at once.
The Free plan now includes cloud dictation, and you can chat with us right from the app.
Cloud Dictation on the Free Plan
Free now includes 2,000 cloud words a week, with AI clean-up. When they run out, Voibe keeps dictating on your Mac. Cloud dictation is optional, and Voibe dictates on your Mac by default.
Chat With Us in the App
Open Help Center and click "Chat with us" to talk to the Voibe team without leaving the app. It is the same conversation as the chat on our website, so you can carry on there. When we reply, you hear a chime and see a red dot on Help Center.
Rename Your Meetings
Click the pencil next to a meeting, or its title, to give it a name you'll recognise.
Check for Updates Any Time
The "Check for Updates" button now always sits under the version number in the sidebar.
A New Look for the Dictation Indicator
The dictation indicator and its messages now have the same dark look in every theme.
Voibe can now show you a message meant just for you, right at the top of your dashboard, such as an offer with your own discount code.
Personal Offers in the App
When we have an offer or a message for you, it appears at the top of the dashboard. A discount code copies in one click, and the button takes you straight to the offer. An upgrade offer goes away by itself once you've upgraded.
A Cleaner Sidebar
The dashboard sidebar is now set apart by a light tint and a soft shadow instead of divider lines.
Voibe Work is here, our biggest update yet. Voibe now takes notes in your meetings from your Mac, in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or any other meeting app, and nothing joins the call. Voibe Work is available on Mac today, and Windows is coming soon. Voibe 3.0 needs macOS 14.4 or later.
Meeting Notes With No Bot
When a meeting starts, Voibe notices and asks if you'd like notes. Click "Take notes" and it records from your Mac. Nobody has to admit a notetaker, and the people on the call see only you.
Summaries That Fit the Meeting
When the meeting ends, Voibe writes a summary of it. Pick a summary style for each kind of meeting, or rewrite a summary in another style afterwards. Copy it in one click, or save it as a PDF.
Full Transcript With Speakers
Every meeting comes with a full transcript. Voibe labels each speaker and puts a time next to every line. Click a speaker's name to rename them, and the summary updates to use the name.
Ask Your Meetings
Ask Voibe what was agreed or who owns what. It answers from the meeting itself and shows the exact words each answer is based on, with the time they were said. Each question can have its own conversation, so answers you want to keep don't get buried.
Two Plans: Voibe Dictation and Voibe Work
Voibe Work includes everything in Voibe Dictation, plus meeting notes. If you're on Voibe Pro, your plan is now called Voibe Dictation, and your price and everything you use today stay the same.
Your Notes Stay on Your Mac
Meeting transcripts and summaries are saved on your Mac, not on our servers. Nothing from your meetings is ever used to train AI.
A Reminder to Tell the Room
When recording starts, Voibe reminds you to let everyone on the call know you're taking notes.
Meeting Settings of Their Own
Meeting notes have their own settings for the shortcut, the offer to take notes, and your summary styles. General settings keep only what applies to the whole app.
A Resizable Voibe Window
The Voibe window can now be made bigger, and it remembers the size you choose.
Voibe now offers two engines. Local runs entirely on your Mac, fully offline and private, exactly as before. Cloud brings the accuracy of the largest Whisper model to every Mac, Intel included. You choose during setup and can switch anytime in Settings.
Cloud Dictation Engine
An optional Cloud engine transcribes with the largest Whisper model, in every mode: push-to-talk, hands-free, and Live Dictation. Your audio travels over an encrypted connection, is deleted the moment it's transcribed, and is never stored or used to train anything. Local stays the recommended default on Macs that run it well.
Much Better Formatting
Smart Formatting now runs on a fast cloud model in every mode, so what lands is clean, finished text instead of a raw transcript: punctuation, capitalisation, lists, and the filler words handled for you, without changing what you said. It's tuned separately for push-to-talk, hands-free, and Live Dictation. Optional as always, only the finished text is sent, and it is never stored.
Voibe on Intel Macs
With the Cloud engine, Voibe now works on Intel Macs for the first time, with the same accuracy as the latest Apple Silicon machines.
Automatic Fallback to Local
If your connection hiccups while using Cloud, Voibe switches to a local model and keeps typing, even mid-session in Live Dictation. A fast local model is kept ready in the background, so dictation never stops and offline always works.
Pick Your Engine During Setup
New users choose Local or Cloud on a dedicated onboarding screen, with the recommended option pre-selected for their Mac. Existing users get a one-time walkthrough of the choice on upgrade, keeping their current behaviour.
Cmd+Comma Opens Settings
The standard macOS shortcut for settings now works in Voibe.
Smart Formatting Settings in One Place
Smart Formatting now lives under Transcription in Settings, next to your engine choice.
No Phantom Text in Silences
Silent pauses no longer occasionally produce invented text when using the Cloud engine.
Smart Formatting Stays As You Set It
Smart Formatting no longer switches itself off after an app restart for push-to-talk and hands-free users.
Steadier Live Dictation on Cloud
Live Dictation no longer silently drops words when the connection repeatedly fails; it switches to the local model instead.
Display and Notification Polish
Fixed rare upside-down transcript text in the dashboard history card, and cloud error notifications now dismiss themselves.
An optional AI pass can clean up your Live Dictation after you speak. It's off by default, and you turn it on in Settings.
Cloud AI Formatting for Live Dictation
Turn this on and Voibe sends your finished Live Dictation transcript to a cloud AI model that tidies the wording and formatting. It runs in the background after your text has already landed, so it never adds to the wait. It's off by default and entirely opt-in. The text is dropped immediately after formatting and nothing is stored or used for any other purpose.
Smarter Pause Other Audio
Voibe now pauses other audio only when something is actually playing, instead of whenever an app could be making sound. On macOS 14.4 and later this uses a new System Audio Recording permission; if you don't grant it, pausing still works as best it can.
Faster First Dictation
Voibe warms up the moment you press your hotkey, so the first dictation after a quiet spell starts noticeably quicker.
Text Lands in the Right App
Live Dictation now inserts your text into the app where you started, even if you moved to another app while speaking.
Steadier Transcription
Resolved occasional slowdowns and stray filler words, such as an unexpected "Thank you", during longer sessions. Accuracy is unchanged.
Say punctuation and symbols by name and Voibe types them as you dictate, instantly and on your Mac. On by default, and you can turn it off anytime in Settings.
Spoken Punctuation & Symbols
Say a mark or symbol by name and Voibe types it instead of the words. Say "comma" for a comma or "open paren" for an opening bracket, plus @, math signs, currency, and even full email addresses. It happens the instant you speak, entirely on your Mac.
Structure By Voice
Use "new line", "new paragraph", "bullet point", or "numbered list" to lay out paragraphs and lists while you dictate.
Custom dictionary words are recalled accurately without leaking into your text.
Better Silence Handling
Pauses within a dictation are handled more precisely, reducing spurious text.
No More Echoed Words
Fixed an issue where words from your custom dictionary could occasionally show up as stray text in your transcript. Custom words are now recalled accurately while your output stays clean.
A round of reliability fixes across setup, microphones, and audio.
More Reliable Model Downloads
Models now download with an integrity check, so a wrong or corrupted download no longer breaks transcription. If a download does fail, you can reach us directly with a new Contact Support option.
Audio Handling While Dictating
Improved how Voibe manages other audio playing on your Mac while you dictate.
Microphones With Multiple Channels
Fixed the microphone not working on devices with more than two input channels.
Smoother First-Time Setup
Resolved issues during onboarding, including extra app windows opening and the model occasionally not downloading.
Watch your words appear as you speak, and edit them before they land.
Live Dictation
A new third dictation mode. Your words appear on screen as you speak, so you can read along and make edits before the text lands in your app. Like every mode, it transcribes entirely on your Mac.
Cancel a Dictation Instantly
Press Escape to discard the current dictation before it's inserted.
Simpler Default Hotkeys
Hands-Free now starts with Fn+Space, and a quick double-tap of Fn works too. You can also assign function keys like F1 and F2, and choose your own key combination for Push-to-Talk.
Refreshed App Icon
A cleaner look for the Dock and menu bar icons.
Hotkey Conflicts
A single modifier key can now be shared between Push-to-Talk and Hands-Free without clashing.
Crash on Restart
Resolved a crash that could occur when restarting the app.
Decide whether Voibe keeps your transcripts, plus accuracy and reliability improvements.
Control Your Transcript History
A new Save transcript history toggle in Settings lets you stop Voibe from storing transcribed text on your Mac. It stays on device either way, and now you choose whether it's kept at all.
Steadier Transcription
Refined how Voibe detects when you pause and how it segments longer speech, for more consistent results during extended dictation.
Pasting Into Background Apps
Dictated text now types reliably into the app you're working in, even when it sits behind Voibe's overlay.
Stray Words During Silence
Custom dictionary words no longer slip into the transcript when you pause without speaking.
Dark Mode in Profile Editing
Fixed a dark mode display issue when editing your profile.
More reliable custom dictionary and bulk editing.
Bulk Edit for Custom Dictionary
Edit multiple custom dictionary entries at once, making it faster to manage your vocabulary.
More Reliable Custom Dictionary Playback
Custom dictionary words are now played back more reliably during dictation.
Custom Dictionary UI Issues
Fixed visual issues on the custom dictionary screen.
A new Memory tab, microphone selection, and a round of app improvements.
Memory
A new tab where you create shortcuts that expand into the text you actually mean. Fix tricky spellings, store shorthand for complex text like URLs or signatures, and save reusable prompts.
Choose Your Microphone
Select which microphone Voibe uses, handy if you have an external mic or use a headset.
Mute Audio While Dictating
A new toggle in Settings that mutes your device audio during dictation, so media playback doesn't interfere.
Hide from Dock
Prefer Voibe to live only in the menu bar? You can now remove it from the Dock in Settings.
Help Center
A new Help Center section inside the app makes it easy to access help resources and create support requests.
Social Handles in App
Voibe's social media handles are now accessible directly inside the app.
Cmd+V on All Text Fields
Paste now works consistently across every text field in the app.
Dark Mode Issues
Resolved dark mode rendering issues across the entire app.
No flashy new feature — instead, we made Voibe smoother, cleaner, and more intuitive.
Redesigned Interface
A completely revamped dashboard — cleaner layout, simpler onboarding, and dedicated tabs for history, dictionary, settings, and account management.
Complete Dictation History
Every word you've ever dictated is now stored locally and available inside Voibe. Scroll back through your full transcript history and copy any entry with a single click.
5-Minute Sessions
The old 1-minute limit was too short for longer emails, notes, or braindumps. You can now speak for up to 5 minutes per session in both Push-to-Talk and Hands-Free modes.
Paste Last Transcript Anytime
Press Ctrl + Option + V or use the menu bar option to paste your last transcript wherever you need it. You can also customise this shortcut in settings.
Edit Your Profile
Update your name, about section, and referral code directly from the app — handy if you skipped any of these during sign-up.
The number one request since launch — speak without holding down a key.
Hands-Free Mode
Double-tap your hotkey to toggle dictation on and off without holding the Fn key. Speak for as long as you need — when you're done, tap the key again to finish.
Speed vs Accuracy Modes
New performance modes give you control over the speed-accuracy trade-off. Voibe recommends the best model for your Mac's hardware, or you can choose the most accurate model manually.
100+ Languages
Voibe now supports over 100 languages. Select your primary language during sign-up or switch anytime from the dashboard.
Custom Vocabulary
Teach Voibe the names of your team, products, or internal abbreviations. Add them to Custom Vocabulary in settings and Voibe learns them instantly.
Developer Mode
If you use Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf, Voibe can scan your workspace context locally and automatically resolve file names, folder paths, and variable names correctly.
Give Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps you use access to all your meetings, so they can use them in your work. Meeting MCP comes with Voibe Work.
Connect Your AI Apps
Click MCP on the Meetings page to connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code or another app, then try asking: "Go through this month's customer calls and write up the feature requests." Turn it off any time to stop every AI app at once.
The Free plan now includes AI clean-up, and you can chat with us right from the app.
Chat With Us in the App
Open Help and click "Chat with us" to talk to the Voibe team without leaving the app. It is the same conversation as the chat on our website, so you can carry on there. When we reply, you hear a sound and see a red dot on Help.
AI Clean-Up on the Free Plan
Free now includes AI clean-up on your 2,000 cloud words a week. You can switch it off in Settings.
Dictation now works in Word and Outlook, and your history is kept safe when you update or reinstall Voibe.
Your History Is Safer
Your transcripts, settings and stats now live in their own place on your PC, so updating or reinstalling Voibe no longer puts them at risk. Everything you had moves over by itself the first time you open this version, meeting notes included. Deleting a transcript no longer lowers your Home stats.
Your Words Land in Word and Outlook
Dictating into Word or Outlook could paste nothing, or paste what you'd copied before. Your words now land there like they do everywhere else, and your clipboard comes back afterwards.
Shortcuts on AltGr Keyboards
On German, French, Czech and other keyboards with an AltGr key, you can type characters like @ again without setting off a Voibe shortcut. A shortcut also no longer switches your keyboard layout or language by mistake.
Meeting Shortcut and Warnings
Pressing the meeting shortcut a second time now stops the recording every time. Warnings during a meeting, like low battery or a lost microphone, show only when they matter and clear once the problem is fixed.
Voibe Work is here on Windows. Voibe now takes notes in your Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls, and Windows gets the same two plans as Mac. Voibe 2.0.0 needs 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11.
Meeting Notes With No Bot
When a call starts, Voibe offers to take notes and records from your PC. Nobody has to admit a notetaker, and you get a summary and the full transcript when the meeting ends.
Summaries That Fit the Meeting
Pick a summary style for each kind of meeting, or rewrite a summary in another style afterwards.
Ask Your Meetings
Ask Voibe what was agreed or who owns what, and it answers from the meeting itself.
Two Plans: Voibe Dictation and Voibe Work
Voibe Work includes everything in Voibe Dictation, plus meeting notes. If you had Voibe Pro, you now have Voibe Dictation, with nothing to do on your side.
Dictionary and Spoken Punctuation
Teach Voibe the names and terms you use, and say "comma" or "new line" to punctuate as you speak.
Your Language, Every Time
Choose your dictation language in Settings. Dictation in other languages no longer comes back in English.
Always Ready in the Tray
Closing the window keeps Voibe running in the tray, so your shortcut always works.
What the Free Plan Includes
The free plan covers dictation, Dictionary and spoken punctuation. AI clean-up and new Memory entries now come with a paid plan.
Your Last Word Stays In
The last word of a dictation no longer gets cut off, and Voibe shows clearer messages when something goes wrong.
Voibe now keeps itself up to date, and you stay signed in.
One-Click Updates
When a new version is out, Voibe asks if you'd like it. One click downloads and installs it, and Voibe reopens on its own.
No Phantom Text in Silences
If you press your key and don't say anything, nothing is sent, so a silence never turns into stray words.
Stay Signed In
Dictation no longer stops after a day to ask you to sign in again.
Voibe now tells you when it can't find a microphone, instead of staying silent.
Clear Microphone Alerts
If your mic is unplugged or missing, Voibe tells you and shows you what to do. You can also finish setup without a mic and plug one in later.
Right Ctrl by Default
New installs dictate with Right Ctrl, so it never clashes with your Left Ctrl shortcuts. If you already use Voibe, your key stays as it is.
Hands-Free Starts Every Time
A double-tap of your key now always starts hands-free dictation.
Dictation starts the moment you need it, and your everyday Ctrl shortcuts are left alone.
Your Shortcuts Stay Yours
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+S and your other shortcuts no longer start a dictation by accident.
Quick to Start, All Day
The mic starts quickly however long Voibe has been running.
Voibe is now on Windows. Hold a key, speak, and clean, finished text lands in whatever app you're typing in.
Push-to-Talk and Hands-Free
Hold your key and speak, or double-tap it to dictate hands-free. Voibe types wherever your cursor is, in every app on your PC.
AI Clean-up
Voibe fixes punctuation and formatting for you, and lays out your text to suit the app you're in, from Slack to your email.
Memory
Save shortcuts that expand into the text you actually mean, like a link, a signature or a tricky name.
One Account for Mac and PC
Sign in with the email you use on your Mac and your plan comes with you. There's nothing extra to buy.
