Everything you might ask

How does VoiceInk protect my privacy?

VoiceInk processes all voice transcription locally on your device. Your voice data never leaves your Mac, ensuring complete privacy. Cloud Enhancement is entirely optional — only transcribed text (not your voice) is processed if you choose to enable it.

What happens after I purchase?

You receive a license key for lifetime access to all current features and future updates. No subscriptions, no recurring fees.

What are the system requirements?

VoiceInk requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14.4 or later. Local models use the Neural Engine for fast, private processing. 8GB RAM recommended.

Do you offer student discounts?

Yes. Contact me with your student ID for details.

I need a specific feature. Will you add it?

Open an issue on GitHub or email me directly. If a feature benefits users, it goes on the roadmap.

Do you offer an affiliate program?

Yes. Visit voiceink.affonso.io to join and start earning commissions.
