Learn English while you dictate.

Voicr polishes your speech in any Mac app — then explains what it changed and why. Grammar, vocabulary, style, in plain words. Every dictation becomes a small lesson.

Your dictation already knew the answer.

Every time you dictate in a language that is not your first, Voicr quietly rewrites your rough speech into clean, natural text. The polished version is yours instantly — but the part that would actually make you better, the reasoning behind every fix, used to vanish the moment it pasted. Language Tutor Mode keeps it. Turn it on and you learn English while you dictate, lesson by lesson, from your own real work.

There is no separate course, no flashcards, no daily streak to keep alive. You dictate a Slack message, an email, a code review comment — the things you were going to write anyway. Voicr polishes them, then shows you a short lesson: what changed between what you said and what it produced, sorted into grammar, vocabulary, style, punctuation, and clarity, each with one plain-language reason.

Because the lesson comes from sentences you genuinely needed to write, it sticks. You are not memorising abstract rules — you are watching your own habits get corrected, in context. Over a few weeks you start catching the mistakes yourself, before Voicr does.

How Language Tutor works

Switch it on once. After that, just dictate.

  1. 01

    Turn on Language Tutor

    Open Settings → Language Tutor and flip the switch — it is off by default and part of the PRO plan. Set your dictation language to one of the six supported during the beta: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, or Italian.

  2. 02

    Dictate the way you always do

    Hold FN and speak into any app, or hold Control + FN to save a note. Voicr transcribes and polishes your words exactly as before — nothing about your normal flow changes or slows down.

  3. 03

    Read the lesson

    The moment Voicr finishes, a floating panel appears with your original words, the polished version, and a list of structured edits — each tagged Grammar, Vocabulary, Style, Punctuation, or Clarity, with a short reason you can read at a glance.

  4. 04

    Revisit it any time

    Every lesson is saved to the Language Tutor tab inside the Voicr window. Search past lessons, reopen the full explanation, and watch your recurring mistakes shrink over the weeks.

What every lesson explains

Five categories. One plain reason for each change.

  • Grammar

    Verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions. "They was" becomes "they were" — and Voicr tells you the plural subject is the reason, not just the result.

  • Vocabulary

    Word choice, false friends, formality. "Very good" becomes "excellent" — because one precise word always beats an intensifier stacked on a weak adjective.

  • Style

    Sentence flow, repetition, redundancy. Voicr trims the doubled pronoun and the filler so your sentences read the way a native speaker actually writes them.

  • Punctuation

    Commas, periods, capitalization, quotation marks. The small marks that quietly decide whether your English looks careful or looks rushed.

  • Clarity

    Ambiguity, missing context, structure. When a sentence can be read two ways, Voicr reorders it so your meaning lands on the first read.

Who learns with Language Tutor

If you write in a language that is not your first, this is built for you.

At work

Non-native English speakers

Every Slack message, email, and code review you dictate in English becomes a quiet lesson. You ship the work and sharpen your English in the same keystroke — no extra time spent.

Studying

Active language learners

Practising Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, or Italian? Dictate in it. The explanations come back in that same language — immersion-style, from sentences you actually chose to write.

Refining

Confident second-language writers

You already write English well. Language Tutor closes the last gap — tone, nuance, the phrasing that still reads a little translated even when the grammar is correct.

Notes

Anyone who thinks out loud

Hold Control + FN to save a note and Voicr teaches from that too. Your daily logs and captured thoughts become a running record of how your writing is improving.

Why learn English with Voicr

Lessons from real work

No exercises, no invented example sentences. You learn from the emails and messages you were already going to write — so the lessons are relevant by default.

Explained in your language

Dictate in German and the lesson is in German. The reasoning lands in the language you are actually building, not filtered through a translation.

A permanent history

Every lesson is saved to the Language Tutor tab and stays — searchable and re-readable — even after you delete the recording it came from.

Never in your way

The lesson panel never steals focus. Keep typing and read it when you are ready; it waits quietly until you dismiss it, with no auto-fade timeout.

Private by design

Every explanation is stored locally on your Mac. No third-party language-tutoring service ever sees a word of what you wrote.

One app for all of it

Language Tutor rides on the same dictation you already use for translation, notes, and writing. It is a mode you switch on, not another tool to manage.

Learn English while you dictate — FAQ

Is Language Tutor free?

Language Tutor Mode is part of the Voicr PRO plan ($10/month, or yearly with a 17% discount) and is currently in beta. Free and Go users see the feature in Settings with an upgrade link. The rest of Voicr — dictation, translation, text expansion — has a free plan you can start on today.

Which languages does it support?

During the beta, Language Tutor supports six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. Auto language mode is not supported yet — set the picker to one of the six for a lesson to be generated. More languages will follow as explanation quality is validated.

Does it slow down or change my dictation?

No. Voicr transcribes and polishes exactly as fast as before. While Language Tutor is on, your custom per-app rules pause in favour of a consistent grammar-focused polish — that steady, predictable diff is what makes a clear lesson. Turn Tutor off any time to bring your own rules straight back.

When does a lesson appear?

After any dictation into an app (hold FN) or note you save (hold Control + FN), as long as the text is long enough to teach from and Voicr actually changed something. Very short or already-perfect dictations are skipped silently. Option + Space text corrections are left alone, since you already chose the rule there yourself.

What language are the explanations in?

Always the same language as your dictation. Dictate in French and the whole lesson — reasons, examples, the full write-up — is in French. Only the category labels follow your app's interface language, so you always know which kind of change you are looking at.

Can I go back to old lessons?

Yes. Every lesson is kept permanently in the Language Tutor tab inside the main Voicr window, grouped by date and fully searchable. Each one stores its own copy of the original and polished text, so it stays useful even after you clear out the source recording.
