How It Works

Three steps. No cloud. No subscription. No nonsense.

1
Pause
Hold to Record

Hold Pause from anywhere on Windows. The microphone activates instantly — VOCIX lives in the system tray and is always ready.

2
🎙
Speak Naturally

Talk normally. Release Pause when done. Whisper transcribes your speech locally — nothing ever leaves your machine.

3
⚡
Text Inserted

Processed text appears right at your cursor, in any application — email, browser, IDE, document. No paste required.

Three Modes

Choose how your speech gets transformed before it hits the page. Switch modes instantly with keyboard shortcuts.

A
Clean
Ctrl+Shift+1  ·  Fully Offline

Strip filler words and light corrections — preserves your meaning, removes "um", "uh", false starts. Runs 100% locally, zero latency.

Before → After
"So um, I wanted to, uh, say that the meeting is… is tomorrow."
↓
"The meeting is tomorrow."
B
Business
Ctrl+Shift+2  ·  Claude AI

Rewrites your speech into professional, formal language suitable for email, reports, or client communication. Powered by Claude.

Before → After
"hey can you fix this bug it's been broken for ages"
↓
"I wanted to flag an ongoing issue that requires attention at your earliest convenience."
C
Rage
Ctrl+Shift+3  ·  Claude AI

De-escalates aggressive or frustrated speech into polite, firm communication. Preserve meaning, remove heat. Powered by Claude.

Before → After
"This is absolutely unacceptable, I'm furious about this delay!"
↓
"I'd like to express my concern regarding the delay and request an update."
Built Right

No cloud lock-in, no monthly fee, no account required. VOCIX respects your privacy and your wallet.

🔒
100% Offline Speech-to-Text

faster-whisper runs fully on your machine. Your voice never leaves your computer. No API key, no internet, no privacy concerns. Model downloads once on first launch.

⌨️
Works in Any App

Text is inserted at the cursor position in any Windows application — email clients, browsers, IDEs, Office apps, chat tools.

🌍
Multilingual + Offline Translation

Speak any of ~50 Whisper-supported languages. Optional one-click offline translation to English — no API key needed. Full DE/EN UI switchable at runtime.

📋
History & Snippet Expansion

The last 20 dictations are saved in the tray — click to re-insert. Define your own shortcuts like /sig or /adr that expand to full text before insertion.

🤖
Multi-Provider LLM

Business and Rage modes run on the LLM you choose: Anthropic Claude, any OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, LM Studio …) or local Ollama models. Per-mode override — cloud where it matters, local where it counts.

⚡
GPU Acceleration & Model Choice

Choose your Whisper model (tiny → large-v3-turbo). GPU mode auto-detects CUDA — or force CPU/GPU via config. Speed vs. accuracy, your call.

💼
Portable, winget & Scoop

Install via winget install RTF22.VOCIX, Scoop, or just unzip and run — no admin rights, no registry. Auto-updates from the tray with SHA256 verification.
