Vox
Superb free Voice-to-Text that never leaves your device
Vox is voice typing that runs entirely on your Mac or Windows machine. Hold a hotkey, speak normally. Cleaned-up text lands on your clipboard, ready to paste. Whisper / Parakeet handle transcription. Superb and fast local Gemma 4 model cleans it up. No audio ever leaves your device, no account to create, no tracking in the app, and it keeps working on a plane. Free for personal use.
Hey Hunters 👋 I built Vox because I type a lot (AI prompts, emails, Slack, etc.) and every good dictation app I tried wanted me to send my voice to their servers, create yet another account, and pay for one more subscription. For something that hears everything I say all day, that felt backwards.
So Vox does the opposite: everything runs on your own device. You hold a hotkey, talk normally (the "ums", self-corrections, and lists are fine – it cleans them up), and the polished text lands on your clipboard ready to paste.
Whisper or NVIDIA's Parakeet do the transcription; Superb local Gemma 4 model or Apple Intelligence do the cleanup.
No audio, no transcripts, no telemetry ever leaves your machine – you can verify it yourself with Little Snitch or GlassWire. It even works on a plane.
A few things that make it nice to actually live with: 1. No account. Download, hold the key, start dictating. Nothing to sign up for. 2. Voice modes. It picks a cleanup style based on the app you're in (formal for email, terse for Slack, present-tense for code comments, etc.) or you can write your own. 3. Free for personal use. Your own writing, side projects, hobby work – free, forever. (If you want to roll it out to the multi-person company, there's a commercial license.)
It runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1+, macOS 14+) and Windows 10/11.
What I'd love feedback on: the cleanup quality across different apps, and whether the voice modes match how you actually write. If there's a mode you wish existed, tell me – custom modes are a core feature and I want to see what people build.
You can see everything I'm planning to work on at rizenhq.com Say hi on X.
P.S. macOS version is already live for almost a month, was used by 300+ people and polished according to the feedback. Windows is more fresh. While it has all the features, some bugs may be present.

Who hunted Vox ?
Vox was hunted by Serhii Klymenko. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
