Speak your language. Write English.
If English is not your first language, every message costs you twice. You think the sentence in your own language, translate it in your head, second-guess the grammar, then type something stiffer than what you meant. Voicr is dictation for non-native English speakers built to remove that tax — you speak the way you think, and Voicr writes the English.
Hold one key and talk in Ukrainian, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese — any of 100 supported languages. Voicr detects what you are speaking, translates it as it transcribes, and types clean, natural English at your cursor. There is no language to select, no translator tab to open, and no clipboard step. The thought leaves your mouth in one language and lands on the screen in another.
Because Voicr is a native macOS menu bar app, the same gesture works everywhere — Mail, Slack, Notes, your browser, a code editor, a support tool. You stop drafting messages twice. You stop pasting between a translator and your real app. You just say what you mean and let Voicr handle the English.
How voice translation works
One held key turns your language into English — in four moments.
- 01
Put your cursor where the English should go
Click into any text field in any app — an email, a Slack message, a form, a document. That is where your translated English will be typed.
- 02
Hold FN and speak your own language
Press and hold the FN key and talk naturally in whatever language you think in. Don't translate in your head and don't slow down — Voicr detects the language for you.
- 03
Release to translate and transcribe
Let go of FN. Voicr turns what you said into English in one pass — translating and transcribing together, with grammar and punctuation already handled.
- 04
Watch polished English type itself
The finished English appears at your cursor, in the app you were already in. No translator window, no copy, no paste — keep working in the language you reach for fastest.
The translate-then-paste loop is over
What it takes to write one English message — before Voicr, and with it.
Translate, then paste
- Draft the message in your own language first
- Copy it into a separate translator tab
- Copy the English result back out again
- Paste it in — and hope the tone survived
Voicr
- Speak your language straight into the app
- Voicr translates while it transcribes
- Polished English lands at your cursor
- One shortcut — no tab, no clipboard, no retyping
Where it earns its keep
Anywhere writing in English slows you down more than it should.
Keep up in fast conversations
When a thread moves quickly, thinking through English grammar is too slow. Speak your reply naturally and Voicr keeps you in the conversation.
Sound fluent to every customer
Answer tickets and customer messages in confident English without the worry that a phrasing mistake makes the reply read wrong.
Cover letters that sound like you
Explain your experience in the language you know it best, and let Voicr write the English — warm and natural, not stiff and translated.
Long-form English, spoken
Talk through a report, a spec, or a summary in your own language. Voicr turns a paragraph of speech into a paragraph of readable English.
Post in public with confidence
Write posts and comments for a global audience without rereading them five times — say it once, and publish the English Voicr gives you.
Why Voicr for non-native English speakers
Think in your first language
You are always fastest and clearest in the language you grew up with. Voicr lets you stay there and still produce English — no mental translation tax.
Auto-detects your language
There is no menu to set and no language to switch. Voicr recognizes what you are speaking from the first words and translates from it automatically.
Polished, not word-for-word
Voicr does not paste a literal translation. It produces natural, idiomatic English — grammar fixed, punctuation added, tone kept intact.
Works in every app
System-wide translation — Mail, Slack, Notion, browsers, code editors, Terminal. If you can type English in it, you can speak your language into it.
100 languages in
Speak Ukrainian, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Polish — any of 100 supported languages. Voicr writes the English from all of them.
Free and private
Voice translation is on the free Voicr plan — 5,000 words a month, no credit card. Your audio produces the text and is then discarded.
Mac dictation for non-native English speakers — FAQ
How does Voicr translate while I dictate?
You hold the FN key and speak in your own language. When you release it, Voicr translates and transcribes in a single pass — it does not record, stop, open a translator, and paste. The English is typed straight into the app you are in.
Do I have to pick the language I'm speaking?
No. Voicr detects the language automatically from your first words. You can switch from one language to another between dictations without changing any setting.
How many languages can I speak?
Voicr supports 100 languages as input — including Ukrainian, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Polish, and many more. When English is your target, Voicr translates from any of them as it transcribes.
Is the English a literal translation?
No. Voicr produces natural, idiomatic English rather than a word-for-word rendering. It fixes grammar, adds punctuation, and keeps the tone you intended, so the result reads like fluent writing — not machine translation.
Does it work in every Mac app?
Yes. Voicr is a native macOS menu bar app and works system-wide — Mail, Slack, Notion, browsers, code editors, and Terminal. It types the English into whatever text field your cursor is in, with no copy and paste.
Is voice translation free?
Yes. It is included on the free Voicr plan, which gives you 5,000 words a month with no credit card. Every other Voicr feature is on the free plan too, and your audio is discarded after the text is produced.
