Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Vadim, the solo developer behind Spokenly. As someone who thinks faster than I type, I was constantly frustrated by the mental context switching. Whether responding to emails, messaging in Slack and Discord, or writing AI prompts, I wanted to just speak and have my words appear instantly, anywhere on my Mac.
✨ What makes Spokenly special:
• Works universally - In any app, any text field, just speak
• Zero friction - One hotkey and you're talking
• Your choice of privacy - Local processing or API (you decide)
• AI formatting - Transform rambling thoughts into polished text
• Agent mode - Control your Mac with voice commands
I'm here all day answering questions!

Any plans for a mobile version? I'd love to be able to have a conversation and build with AI while on a walk.
Spokenly
@ej_sanmartin iOS version is actually in development. Planning to launch next week!
@ej_sanmartin @valdomar Now I have the obligation to ask when is the Android version coming haha
Spokenly
@ej_sanmartin @nek_12 Not yet! iOS is already a big challenge as a solo developer. Android & Windows support might come later if things go well!

@akute_mauton Thanks for the support Akute!
I can’t speak highly enough of this app and its developer. Vadim is exceptionally kind and generous, dedicating himself tirelessly to continually improve the product with remarkable diligence.
The app has truly become an essential part of my daily routine on my Mac.
Thank you, my friend, for everything you do.

@wada3n Thank you for the kind words! Your feedback over time has helped shape what Spokenly is today.
Great app@valdomar - what's the difference between you and Willow?
Spokenly
@ebl0 Hey Eugene! Main differences: Spokenly can run both locally on Mac and in the cloud, allows you to bring your own API keys from any provider (faster & private), and includes Agent mode for automating Mac tasks. Plus customizable AI Prompts to transform your dictation.

How does it compare to Wispr flow, Aqua, etc?
Spokenly
@rajiv_ayyangar Thanks for asking! Spokenly is built on the principle of simplicity first, with powerful features available when you need them. Key differences:
Use your own API keys for faster, more private dictation
Agent mode to control your Mac with voice commands (open apps, run shortcuts, talk to ChatGPT)
Choose from different AI models depending on what you need (speed vs accuracy)
Free & unlimited local Whisper models
This app is a game-changer! It accurately converts my speech to text and saves me a lot of time. Perfect for anyone who wants to boost productivity. Thank you for your great work!
Spokenly
@erik_mullatairov Accuracy was a top priority, thanks for the kind words!
My favourite MacApp! I speak to my mac all the time now ^^
Spokenly
@alex_w2 Thanks Alex! I catch myself talking to my Mac all the time now too 😄
Definitely, it's one of the best value for money dictation apps available for the Mac platform. I can highly recommend it, and you have so many options with so many different voice and large language models. And the developer is really active in his Discord group, so you can easily get answers to all your questions directly from the developer, which is a really nice plus.
Spokenly
@carsten_losch Thanks for the support! The community feedback has been invaluable for improving the app!

No way, this is exactly what I need—my hands are always tired from typing all day, and being able to use my voice everywhere on my Mac is such a game changer. Does it handle accents well?
Spokenly
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Yes, GPT-4o model handles accents best in my experience. I'd recommend trying several models in the app to see what works best for you!
Great app, and the one I have been using for a while now. No problems at all. Just does the thing, and the developer is very responsive.
Spokenly
@sudip_singh_jamwal Appreciate the feedback!

This is a great application, probably the best one available. It offers high quality and is useful for everyday use. Wishing you a lot of luck—keep going, man!
Spokenly
@b2a48b Thanks for the support!
I tried out Superwhisper, coded my own and also tried to find another alternative until i read about Spokenly on reddit.
It is amazing. I am using it with groq - super cheap + super fast.
I switched from Superwhisper bc it only uses 40mb of ram on my mac.
keep up the good work and pls keep it free :)
Spokenly
@felix_becker4 Thanks Felix! Groq is indeed a great choice for speed + cost!
Congrats! Love the idea. Can we speak in one language and it translates automatically in another?
Spokenly
@luigi_receiptorai Absolutely! Just set up an AI Prompt like "Translate to Spanish" and speak in any language.

I tried a lot of my dictation apps before I installed Spokenly. It was pretty clear the moment I launched it, “Yeah, this is the one!” Vadim is a skilled developer with an incredible eye for UI design. He's also just a cool guy who's very kind, and I've enjoyed exchanging emails with him. He's always receptive to my ideas, and I'm always surprised when make a small suggestion and it'll be included in the app the next day. It has been like having my own personal developer, building exactly the app I want. Good luck Vadim, wishing you the best!
I have been into VoiceAI space long enough to confidently say that Spokenly has the BEST interface among every STT app out there. The finesse is just 👏
Best alt to Wispr Flow. Highly recommend
Love how seamless and simple this is for local speech-to-text. As long as I enunciate clearly, it covers every single use case that I have and works without issues. So far, I estimate I have spoken a good 20 to 30 thousand words with Spokenly. Two thumbs up.
It has spoken a lot about my issues with pain in my hands and fingers. I literally use this from time to time whenever I do prompting with vibe coding, as well as creating workflows and prompts for any event. This is a really good tool if you're trying to help yourself much faster. It's great when you're doing a lot of typing.
