IraVoice

IraVoice is a privacy-first dictation app for Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 26+. It converts speech into polished text locally on your device, ensuring your voice and data never leave your computer. Designed for everyday writing and developer workflows, it offers two focused modes: Dictate for seamless voice-to-text in any text field, and Voice-to-Spec for turning rough spoken requirements into structured Markdown briefs. No account, no telemetry, and no cloud transcripts.

Key Features

• Private on-device dictation: Speech recognition uses local Core ML models, and formatting uses Apple's on-device model—no audio or transcripts are sent to the cloud.

• Two focused workflows: Hold Right Option to dictate into any focused text field, or hold Globe to turn speech into a structured agent-ready brief in Markdown.

• Developer-friendly dictation: Voice-to-Spec converts rough technical thoughts into structured briefs that can be reviewed, pasted, or handed off to Codex or Claude Code via a visible Terminal session.

• No account or telemetry: IraVoice runs without an account system, product telemetry, or cloud history—license state is stored in your Mac Keychain.

• Fast and accurate: Achieves 1.98% word error rate on Apple SpeechAnalyzer and 4.28% on whisper.cpp small.en (clean-read English baseline). Published benchmarks for transparency.

• Simple one-time purchase: Try every feature for 3 days with no card. Then buy once for $50—no subscription, with a 30-day refund guarantee.
