Voiceavel is signed, notarized, and verified by Apple — but since it's distributed outside the Mac App Store, macOS shows a one-time "downloaded from the internet" confirmation. Just click Open and you're good to go.
Voiceavel needs Microphone access (to record your voice) and Accessibility/Input Monitoring (to detect the keyboard shortcut and paste text). macOS will prompt you to grant these on first launch.
Over 100 languages including English, Serbian (Latin & Cyrillic), German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Korean, and many more. Language can be auto-detected or manually set.
Free users can use it on 1 device. Pro users can activate on up to 2 devices. You can deactivate a device from your dashboard to free up a slot.
