IraVoice

IraVoice is a private, on-device dictation app for Apple-silicon Macs. It converts speech into polished text or structured Markdown using local AI models, eliminating the need for cloud processing. Designed for writers, developers, and privacy-conscious users, it solves the problem of fast, accurate dictation without compromising data confidentiality.

What Makes IraVoice Stand Out

• On-device privacy: Speech recognition and formatting run locally using Core ML and Apple Intelligence. No audio or text ever leaves your Mac.
• Two workflows: Dictate polished text into any editable field, or use Voice-to-Spec to turn rough spoken ideas into structured Markdown for developers.
• No subscription: A one-time purchase of $50 includes all features, with a 3-day free trial and 30-day refund guarantee.
• Integrated agent handoff: Optionally route Voice-to-Spec output directly to Codex or Claude Code in a visible Terminal session for developer workflows.
• No account needed: The app runs without telemetry, accounts, or cloud transcript history. License verification via Gumroad is the only external call.

Who Should Use IraVoice

• Writers and professionals seeking a private, hands-free way to dictate emails, documents, and notes without cloud dependency.
• Developers and technical users who want to quickly capture technical specs or code requirements as structured Markdown, ready for AI agents or later review.
• Privacy advocates who need a dictation solution that ensures their speech and text never leave their device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IraVoice?

IraVoice is a macOS dictation app that uses on-device AI to transcribe speech into text or structured Markdown. It works exclusively on Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later.

How does IraVoice protect my privacy?

All speech recognition and text formatting happen locally using Apple's Core ML and on-device intelligence. The app has no telemetry, no account system, and no cloud storage for audio or transcripts. The only network calls are downloading models on first use and verifying your license key with Gumroad.

Can I use IraVoice with AI coding agents?

Yes. Voice-to-Spec outputs structured Markdown that can be pasted directly or routed to Codex or Claude Code. The agent handoff is opt-in and occurs in a visible Terminal session, sending only the finished specification.
