Frequently asked questions
How does Vowrite turn my voice into clean text?
Vowrite uses AI speech recognition to transcribe your voice, then an AI language model removes filler words, fixes grammar, and adds punctuation. The result is polished text inserted right at your cursor — in about 2 seconds.
Is Vowrite free to use?
Yes. Vowrite is open source and free. You bring your own API key from providers like OpenAI, Groq, or DeepSeek. You only pay for your actual API usage — which typically costs fractions of a cent per dictation.
Does it work in any app on Mac?
Yes. Vowrite inserts text at your cursor in any app — Safari, VS Code, Discord, Pages, Notion, WeChat, and more. If you can type there, Vowrite works there.
Can I mix Chinese and English in one sentence?
Absolutely. Vowrite handles mixed Chinese and English naturally. No language switching needed — just speak the way you normally do.
What AI providers are supported?
Vowrite supports 15+ providers including OpenAI, Groq, DeepSeek, Deepgram, Gemini, Claude, iFlytek, Ollama, MLX Server, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own API key — no subscriptions, no lock-in.
Is my data private?
Your dictation history is stored locally on your Mac. Audio is sent to your chosen AI provider for transcription only — Vowrite itself never stores or transmits your data to any server.
