What is Vorn Voice
A quick overview of Vorn Voice and what it does.
Vorn Voice is a focused desktop dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It turns speech into text in whatever app you are already using.
How it works
- Press your shortcut — Start dictation from any app with a push-to-talk key combo.
- Speak naturally — Say what you want written. A small overlay shows that Vorn Voice is listening.
- Release to insert text — Vorn Voice transcribes the audio and places clean text where you were typing.
Key features
- Push-to-talk dictation — Hold a shortcut to record, release to transcribe. Or use toggle mode (press once to start, press again to stop).
