## About

MacVoice is a lightweight voice keyboard for Mac that turns speech into text directly at the cursor in real time. It works across apps including Apple Notes, Mail, Word, Google Docs, Safari, and messaging tools, with a shortcut you can customize.

Speech is processed on-device, with no cloud audio uploads or saved recordings. MacVoice simulates keystrokes instead of pasting, so it can type into fields where copy-paste is blocked while leaving the clipboard untouched. It also removes filler words, cleans up punctuation, and uses safe line breaks in chat apps. The native Swift app is offered as a one-time purchase with installation on up to five Macs.
