How voice dictation works in VoxFlow
Follow a recording from microphone to text, learn how insertion works, and see what data leaves your computer.
VoxFlow helps you draft messages, notes and documents by speaking instead of typing. Here is what happens after you start a recording and what to check before using the result.
From microphone to text
Press the microphone, speak, then use the check mark to finish. The cross cancels the recording. VoxFlow sends the audio through its server to the configured cloud speech-recognition provider. An internet connection is required; the app does not currently transcribe offline. The provider may change, so a particular provider name is not a reliable description of every request.
Once recognition finishes, read the text before sending it. Punctuation and editing tools can improve a draft, and your personal dictionary can help with names or specialist terms. Recognition still depends on microphone quality, background noise, language and context.
Inserting the result
VoxFlow tries to insert the text into the active input field. Some protected fields or applications running with elevated permissions may block automatic insertion. If that happens, you can copy the result and paste it yourself. The setup guide explains the steps and controls.
History and privacy
Text history is off by default. You can enable it or clear it in settings. Audio and text for a request pass through the VoxFlow server to a processing provider; read the privacy policy before dictating sensitive information. Translation and text actions are also available in the app. See the plans for current usage conditions.
