Word, Outlook, Gmail, Google Docs, Notion, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code, Obsidian, Excel, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, LinkedIn, Jira, Notepad and every other Windows app.
How it works
No window to open: Voqify waits quietly in the notification area.
Wherever you are. A red dot next to the pointer shows it’s listening.
No need to dictate punctuation: it’s added for you, along with capitals and numbers.
Your text appears at the cursor in a fraction of a second.
Also available: toggle mode, one press to start, another to type.

Punctuation, capitals, numbers as digits: your text arrives ready to send.
