# Voicecape

> Voicecape is voice typing for macOS. It inserts what you say at your cursor in any app, cleaned of fillers and never rewritten. Speech recognition runs in the cloud for speed and accuracy, and falls back to an on-device model when there is no network.

## Facts

- Platform: macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. There is no iOS, Android or Windows build today.
- Speech recognition: cloud dictation streams audio to Voicecape's own relay, which forwards it to Soniox for real-time transcription. End of speech to final text is 491ms at p95, measured through the relay.
- Cloud dictation is a setting in the app. With it off, speech recognition runs entirely on the Mac using a bundled model and no audio leaves the device.
- The on-device model is also the offline fallback: when the network is unavailable, dictation keeps working locally.
- Cleanup is a separate tier. Cloud polish sends the transcript text, not audio, to Google's Gemini through the same relay, and can be turned off, in which case cleanup is rule-based and local.
- No transcript or audio is stored on any Voicecape server. Soniox processes audio transiently under a signed data processing agreement and does not store audio or text.
- While signed out, and besides dictation, the app makes three network calls: licence activation, when the user enters a key and presses Activate; a background licence revalidation on an already-activated Mac, sent when the app is opened and at most once every seven days, carrying the same licence key, device identifier and activation identifier; and a daily update check that sends a version number. It contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporter and no telemetry.
- Accounts ship since 1.3.0 and are optional: dictation, the licence and the trial all work without one. Signing in adds a fourth automatic call — when the app is opened and the session is close to expiring it renews that session with Supabase, sending the refresh token and nothing else. Creating an account or signing in is what starts it; signed out, nothing goes there.
- Cleaned, never rewritten: fillers ("um", "uh"), accidental repetition and trailing filler phrases are removed; the user's wording, order and meaning are preserved exactly. Voicecape does not summarize, rephrase, translate or rewrite. Self-correction handling is deliberately not shipped in the text tier — it needs prosody to be safe.
- Two modes: Exact Clean (fillers and accidental repeats removed) and Verbatim (kept as spoken).
- Inserts text at the cursor in any macOS app: Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, ChatGPT, browsers, code editors. In browsers and Electron apps the insertion goes through the clipboard, and the previous clipboard contents are restored immediately afterwards.
- Price: US$9.9 per month, or US$79 per year, after a 14-day free trial. The trial is the full app; there is no separate trial build and nothing is held back. When the trial ends the app stops inserting text and the user's dictionary and settings stay in place.
- One licence activates up to 3 Macs.
- Refunds: 14 days from purchase, no questions asked. Using the app during those 14 days does not disqualify a refund.
- Languages: five — English, Korean, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, including mixed-language speech within a sentence. Automatic detection picks the language from what is said. Personal dictionaries are stored locally, per language.
- Category: voice typing — dictation software for real-time cursor insertion. It is not a recording-transcription or meeting-notes tool.

## API

The console exposes a read/write REST API for summaries, action items and decisions, plus an
MCP server for AI clients. Authentication is an organization API key; scopes are per-key.
Available on all plans.

- `GET /v1/me` — Describe the calling API key
- `GET /v1/summaries` — List summaries
- `GET /v1/summaries/{id}` — Get one summary
- `GET /v1/summaries/{id}/transcript` — Get the transcript behind a summary
- `GET /v1/action-items` — List action items
- `PATCH /v1/action-items/{id}` — Mark an action item done or not done
- `GET /v1/decisions` — List decisions
- `PATCH /v1/decisions/{id}` — Update a decision's status
- `POST /v1/ask` — Ask a question over your meetings
