System-Wide Real-Time Dictation

NovaVoice is not tied to a single app. Open your brief in Word, your email in Outlook, your notes in Notion — speak, and your words appear instantly wherever your cursor is placed.

Hotkey Activation for Fast, Focused Drafting

One keystroke starts dictation, another stops it. There is no mode to enter, no window to manage — just a clean, uninterrupted drafting experience that keeps you in your document.

Agent Mode — Voice Commands Across Your Desktop

From any screen, invoke Agent Mode to send an email, schedule a client meeting, or add a deadline to your task list — all by voice, without switching apps or breaking your concentration.

AI Assistant from Any Screen

Ask a quick legal definition, get a plain-language summary of selected text, or check a deadline calculation — NovaVoice's contextual AI assistant answers from wherever you're working, like having a research aide on call.

Cross-Platform — Mac, Windows, and Linux

Whether your firm standardizes on MacBooks, Windows workstations, or a Linux-based setup, every attorney gets the same real-time dictation experience without compromise.

Works with the Apps You Already Use

NovaVoice requires no special integration with your existing software stack — it inputs text at the OS level, so it works with your word processor, practice management platform, email client, and document review tools out of the box.

Frequently asked questions

Can I dictate directly into my word processor or case management software?

Yes. NovaVoice works at the system level, so your spoken words appear wherever your cursor is — Word, Google Docs, Clio, MyCase, or any other desktop app. There is no need to dictate into a separate window and copy-paste.

Does NovaVoice work on Windows and Linux, not just Mac?

NovaVoice runs natively on Mac, Windows, and Linux. If your firm uses a mix of machines or runs a Linux-based environment, every attorney on the team is covered.

How do I activate dictation without interrupting my workflow?

A customizable hotkey starts and stops dictation — press it, speak, press it again, and your text is inserted. You never have to touch the NovaVoice window during a drafting session.

Can NovaVoice help me manage tasks and emails by voice while I'm reviewing a document?

Yes — Agent Mode lets you trigger actions in supported apps from any screen. You can send an email in Gmail, add a follow-up task to your to-do list, or create a calendar deadline without leaving the document you're working in.

Will audio file transcription be available for recorded depositions or client calls?

Audio file transcription and meeting transcription are on the NovaVoice roadmap but are not yet live. For now, the product focuses on real-time dictation as you speak.

How does NovaVoice compare to Dragon NaturallySpeaking for legal work?

Dragon has long been the go-to for legal dictation but carries a steep price and a Windows-heavy focus. NovaVoice offers real-time system-wide dictation across Mac, Windows, and Linux, adds an AI assistant layer through Agent Mode, and is built for the way attorneys actually work across multiple apps throughout the day.
