Where NovaVoice Goes Further
Fluidvox covers basic voice dictation on Mac and Windows — you pick a tone preset before speaking and it types into the focused app. That's roughly where its feature set ends.
NovaVoice uses context-aware formatting that adapts automatically to the app in focus — no manual mode selection needed. On top of that, Agent Mode lets you execute actions by voice: "Email Sarah: confirmed for Thursday" sends the email directly in Gmail. Linux support and a free tier are also included, neither of which Fluidvox offers.
Say 'Email Sarah: confirmed for Thursday' or 'Add task: review the report'. NovaVoice executes the action directly in Gmail, Todoist, Calendar, and more.
NovaVoice is one of the only commercial voice dictation tools with a Linux desktop client, supporting Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
Ask questions, brainstorm, and get answers by voice — all without leaving your current app. Accessible by hotkey from any screen.
NovaVoice has a free plan with no credit card required. Fluidvox starts at $10/month with no free tier.
