VoiceOS Review

VoiceOS has two modes. Dictation Mode types what you say into any text field: press fn, speak, and it removes filler words, fixes grammar and spelling, learns names and acronyms you use, and can format spoken items as a list; Edit Mode rewrites text you have selected. VoiceOS says it handles over 100 languages without switching. Agent Mode goes further: you ask for an outcome, such as replying to a message, scheduling an event or finding a file, and it acts through apps you have enabled, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, Finder, Reminders, Messages and Obsidian. It can use screen context you point at, and actions that send, book or change something pause to show what they will do first.

You install the desktop app (macOS or Windows), grant permissions and connect services in Settings; developers can add their own tools with MCP servers. VoiceOS uses cloud processing, so it is not an offline dictation app. It says transcripts are stored on your device, and with Help Improve VoiceOS off, raw audio and transcripts are deleted right after processing and not used for training. Mobile apps are listed as coming soon. VoiceOS is made by WakoAI, Inc.

There is no free sign-up plan. New customers get a 7-day free trial of Pro on monthly or annual billing; a card is required, one trial per email address, and the plan starts automatically when the trial ends. Annual billing works out to 60% less per month than monthly ($11.99 vs $29.99), or about $0.39 a day ($143.88 / 365). Students get 50% off Pro, and builders shipping VoiceOS integrations can apply for 50% off. After a paid Pro period ends, existing accounts keep limited access of 100 dictation sessions and 25 Agent Mode sessions a week; this is not a plan new users can choose. Prices shown are US reference prices and adjust by region at checkout.

What VoiceOS lists on its pricing, feature and documentation pages:

VoiceOS suits knowledge workers whose day runs through Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear and Google Workspace and who want to speak tasks, not just text. It is also aimed at people who type less for physical reasons; VoiceOS publishes guides on wrist pain, dyslexia and low vision, though it does not claim accessibility certification.

If you only want polished dictation, especially on a phone, compare Wispr Flow, Aqua Voice or Willow Voice; VoiceOS's own comparison page points dictation-first buyers there. If you need speech recognition that runs fully offline, look at superwhisper, since VoiceOS processes audio in the cloud.

Independent reviews are still scarce. On Product Hunt, VoiceOS has 5.0 out of 5 from just 3 reviews; reviewers like controlling the computer by voice rather than only transcribing, while one finds the onboarding "a bit long", another calls the plans a bit expensive, and one asks for iOS and Android apps. Dupple's review, which discloses affiliate links, says it suits people who live in Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear or Google Workspace and pays off less for those who work mostly in one app; note its pricing lists a free tier that VoiceOS's current pricing page does not offer to new users.
