VoiceOS

VoiceOS positions itself as more than a dictation app. Traditional dictation merely speeds up typing; VoiceOS pairs fast, cleaned-up transcription with an Agent Mode that actually performs tasks. You speak a command — "send the email", "schedule the meeting", "find that PDF" — and the assistant carries it out inside the correct application, whether that is Gmail, Slack, Notion or a project tracker.

A distinctive touch is that your cursor becomes context. Instead of describing what you are looking at, you point at any element on screen and ask about it — for example, highlighting an unfamiliar name and asking it to find that person's LinkedIn profile. VoiceOS also keeps track of reminders and brings tasks back at the right moment, so commitments do not live only in your head.

Privacy is central to the pitch: audio is processed in real time, never stored on the company's servers and never used to train models, while transcripts remain locally on your device unless you opt in to sharing anonymous diagnostics. The product is backed by Y Combinator, runs on Mac and Windows, offers a 7-day free trial, and is aimed at founders, creators and knowledge workers who want to replace typing with speaking.
