What is Vorn Voice?

Vorn Voice is a desktop dictation app. Hold a keyboard shortcut, speak naturally, and the app transcribes your speech and places the text where you were typing. It works across notes, docs, chat, browsers, tickets, and editors without switching windows.

Transcription runs locally on your device by default, so dictation stays fast and private. Cloud transcription is available as an option for additional language support or higher accuracy.
