Apps you can use

KeyVox works with ordinary active text fields in mail, messages, notes, documents, browsers, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, editors, and terminal prompts. Some protected or unusual fields may limit text insertion.

You stay in control

KeyVox does not press Send or Return. Once text is inserted, that app takes over, and its own settings determine whether it saves, syncs, or processes it.

Common questions

Questions people ask

Can I use dictation in a Mac terminal?
