Installation
Get VoiceInk up and running on your Mac
System Requirements
Before installing VoiceInk, please ensure your Mac meets the following requirements:
- macOS Version: macOS 14.4 or later.
- Hardware: Local models are optimized for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, etc.). While the application runs on Intel processors, performance for local transcription may not be optimal. For Intel-based Macs, using cloud models is recommended for the best experience.
Apple Silicon recommended
VoiceInk can run on Intel Macs, but local transcription is optimized for Apple Silicon. If you use an Intel Mac, cloud transcription is usually the better experience.
