How Is This Different From Built-In Speech-to-Text?
Apple Dictation and Windows Speech Recognition transcribe text. NovaVoice formats it, acts on it, and works everywhere.
Works in every app
Most speech-to-text tools work only inside their own interface or selected apps. NovaVoice is system-wide — any app, any text field, activated with a hotkey.
AI formats for context
NovaVoice knows whether you're writing an email, a code comment, or a Slack message — and formats the output accordingly. Same voice, output that fits the context.
More than transcription
Agent Mode executes actions in Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, Telegram, and more — all by voice. The AI assistant answers questions from anywhere on your screen.
Where Can You Use It?
NovaVoice works across your entire desktop. Here are the most common places people dictate.
Dictate full emails in a conversational tone. NovaVoice formats them to sound professional without you editing a word.
Code comments & docs
Narrate commit messages, PR descriptions, and inline comments. Output adapts to a technical, concise tone automatically.
Slack & chat
Send messages in any messaging app without switching windows. Fast, casual formatting for quick replies.
Documents & reports
Draft long-form content at speaking speed — 3× faster than typing. Structured output ready for editing.
Notes & tasks
Capture ideas, meeting notes, and action items instantly. Add tasks to Todoist by voice without opening the app.
Any text field
NovaVoice is system-wide. If a text field exists on your desktop, you can dictate into it — no app exceptions.
Four Ways to Use Your Voice
NovaVoice is more than speech-to-text. Four modes cover every way voice can help you on desktop.
Dictation Mode
AI-formatted speech-to-text inserted at your cursor. Works in any app. Adapts tone and structure based on where you're typing — email, code, chat, or docs.
Agent Mode
Voice commands that execute real actions in Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, Telegram, WhatsApp, Spotify, X, and Hacker News — without switching windows.
AI Assistant
A system-wide conversational AI you can talk to from any screen. Ask questions, get summaries, generate text — no browser tab, no context switching.
Formatting Mode
Set custom formatting rules per app. The same sentence spoken in your IDE and in Gmail can produce different output — structured for each context automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is speech-to-text software?
Speech-to-text software converts spoken words into written text in real time. Modern AI-powered tools like NovaVoice go beyond raw transcription — they format text for the context you're in, adapt to different apps, and can execute actions in connected tools by voice.
How is NovaVoice different from built-in speech-to-text on Mac or Windows?
Apple Dictation and Windows Speech Recognition do basic transcription inside supported apps. NovaVoice works system-wide across every app, adds AI-powered context-aware formatting (so email sounds like email and code notes sound like code notes), includes Agent Mode for app control, and adds a built-in AI assistant — all available by hotkey from anywhere on your desktop.
Can I use NovaVoice speech-to-text in any app?
Yes. NovaVoice is system-wide — activate it from any app and dictate into any text field: your browser, IDE, email client, Slack, terminal, notes app, or any other desktop application. No copy-pasting required.
Does NovaVoice work offline?
NovaVoice requires an internet connection for AI transcription and formatting. This allows it to use the latest speech recognition models for high accuracy and context-aware formatting that understands what app you're in.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. NovaVoice has a free plan with no credit card required that includes dictation, Agent Mode, and the AI assistant.
