It never steals focus
The panel floats without activating the app: you can still paste with ⌘V right where you were typing.
Multilingual dictation for macOS with local AI
Press a global shortcut, speak in your language — or mix it with English — and VozPaste transcribes with Apple Speech, polishes with Apple Intelligence, then hands you the text copied in a floating editor where you can fix it, translate it, and keep dictating on top of it. It all runs on your Mac: no accounts, no credits, no subscription.

How it works
From voice to ready text, without switching apps.
VozPaste lives in the menu bar. Trigger it with your shortcut, speak, and the text is ready on your clipboard.
01
Press your global shortcut.
Trigger it from any window, hold-to-talk or toggle, without reaching for the mouse.
02
Speak in your language.
Apple Speech transcribes on your Mac and recognizes your language alongside English in the same recording.
03
VozPaste copies polished text.
Apple Intelligence shapes it with your chosen mode, leaves it on the clipboard, and opens the floating editor: paste with ⌘V or keep dictating on top.

Live activity
You always know where your dictation is.
VozPaste never leaves you guessing: every state of the flow is visible, with your real microphone level and how long you have been recording.
- 01
Ready
Waiting for your shortcut
The app lives in the menu bar, with no Dock icon and no windows to manage.
- 02
Listening…
It listens, and shows you
The indicator shows your real microphone level and the recording timer while you speak.
- 03
Transcribing…
Apple Speech, on device
Transcription runs on your Mac. In automatic mode it recognizes your language and English, then merges both results.
- 04
Polishing text…
Apple Intelligence polishes it
The on-device model applies your chosen mode: improve, professional, short and clear, AI prompt, or your own instruction.
- 05
Ready to paste
Copied, visible, and editable
The text lands on the clipboard and opens the floating editor: paste it with ⌘V, touch it up, or record again to add more at the end.
Choose how it shows up
The activity indicator adapts to how you work.
Menu bar
The icon changes with each state, with nothing covering your screen.
Floating capsule
A discreet capsule over your work, with the state and the recording dot.
Panel with controls
Beyond the state, a button to stop recording without going back to the menu.
Microphone diagnostics
If your input is connected but sends no audio, VozPaste warns you within seconds of starting — naming the device and offering a shortcut to the system sound input — instead of letting you talk for nothing until the end. It does not cut the recording: if it was only a pause, you keep dictating.
VozPaste
Dictation session
Here is the updated proposal. I look forward to your feedback before preparing the final version.
Floating editor
It does not just show the text: it lets you keep working on it.
The VozPaste panel floats over whatever you are doing with your dictation already polished and copied. Right there you fix a word, translate a fragment, or record again to add the next idea at the end — without opening a document or switching apps.
Keep dictating on top
Hit Record more and speak again: the new dictation is polished and appended to the end of the text you already had.
Edit and translate in place
Fix a word, delete what does not belong, or translate just the fragment you select into any of the six languages.
It steps aside, losing nothing
Minimize it, or let it step aside when you click elsewhere; bring it back from the menu bar with your text untouched.
Languages
Dictate in six languages. And mix them with English.
The language you speak and the language you want the text in are two independent settings: dictate in Spanish sprinkled with English terms and get the result in French if that is what you need.
Automatic bilingual

Recognition runs on device with each language's own locale.

Automatic bilingual
In automatic mode VozPaste recognizes your primary language and English in the same recording and merges both results, so the terms you said in English stay exactly as you said them. It learns which one you usually speak, and you can reset that detection whenever you want.
Output language
Keep the language you dictated or ask for the result in another one. The text mode does not change.
Same as spokenEspañolEnglishItalianoFrançaisDeutschPortuguês
The app, in your language
The VozPaste interface ships in Español and English, or follows your system language. It is a separate axis from the language you dictate in.
Features
Fast dictation with desktop privacy.
Built for writing messages, prompts, notes, and long replies without paying for every use.
AI on your Mac
Apple Intelligence polishes and formats your dictation with Apple Foundation Models, on your Mac and offline.
Six dictation languages
Español, English, Italiano, Français, Deutsch, and Português, recognized on device.
Automatic bilingual
Mix your language with English in the same recording: VozPaste recognizes both and keeps the terms you said in English.
Independent output language
Keep the language you dictated or get the text in any of the six languages, without switching modes.
Five text modes
Improve text, Professional, Short and clear, AI Prompt, and Custom with your own instruction.
You see it listening
An indicator in the menu bar, a floating capsule, or a panel with controls, with live microphone level and a timer.
It tells you when the mic is mute
When the input is connected but sends no audio, you hear about it within seconds of starting, with the device name and how to fix it.
Dictate on top of your dictation
The result opens a floating editor: fix it by hand, translate a fragment, and record again to append the next idea at the end.
Speak the way you speak
Sentences that break off, mid-thought corrections, filler words: the AI rebuilds what you meant and splits it into readable paragraphs.
It never leaves you guessing
If something stops the dictation, VozPaste says what happened and offers the action that fixes it, instead of closing without a word.
Several shortcuts, your way
Set several shortcuts: hold-to-talk or toggle, and a different text mode per shortcut.
Panel at your pace
Minimize the editor when it is in the way and bring it back from the menu bar; or let it dismiss itself after 30 s, 1, 2, or 5 minutes.
Local history
Your dictations are stored on your Mac only; copy them, delete them one by one, or turn saving off.
Interface in Español or English
Pick the app language or let it follow the system; it is independent of the language you dictate in.
Total privacy
Transcription and AI on device; temporary audio deleted after processing; no telemetry and no network permission.
Lives in the menu bar
No Dock icon; always one shortcut away.
No accounts
No signup, external dashboard, or third-party credentials are needed to start dictating.
Local-first privacy
Everything happens on your Mac.
VozPaste does not need servers or accounts to turn your voice into polished text. Local processing keeps the flow simple and private.
No Accessibility permission.
No network permission (App Sandbox).
No accounts.
No telemetry; temporary audio is deleted after processing.
History stays on your Mac only, and you can turn it off.

On-device AI explained
AI runs on your Mac.
Apple Intelligence uses Apple Foundation Models on the compatible device. Text polishing is private, offline, and account-free, so VozPaste can stay a one-time purchase. The language the AI writes back in — same as spoken, Español, English, Italiano, Français, Deutsch, or Português — is independent of the mode you pick.
No per-use cost
Local polishing does not create charges for every dictation or depend on external services.
Private by design
Your dictation and processed text stay on the compatible device.
Offline
When Apple Intelligence is available on your Mac, the core flow does not need internet.
Honest requirement
Requires a Mac with Apple Silicon and Apple Intelligence (macOS 26) turned on. The app checks availability and tells you what is missing if it is not ready.
Honest limit
Very long dictations may fail because of the model context window.
Simple flow
Dictate, VozPaste copies polished text and opens it in the floating editor: paste with ⌘V or keep dictating on top.
