Hold a key, say what you mean, release — DeckVoice types it right where your cursor is. Mail, Slack, VS Code, anywhere. Free on-device engine that never sends audio anywhere, or plug in your own free Groq key for sub-second cloud speed. Plus Jarvis — a hands-free voice assistant that talks back.
Get DeckVoice — $19, once Try the demo ↓This is the exact flow on your Mac: hold → speak → release → your words land at the cursor.
Release to “transcribe” — watch it type. On the real app this is your voice, in any app, ~1 second later.
Drag to Applications, open, and follow the built-in checklist: allow the mic, grant Accessibility once. Signed & notarized — no scary warnings.
Right ⌥, a custom shortcut, or arm the spacebar itself. A tiny floating pill shows when it's listening — park it anywhere.
Your words paste at the cursor in whatever app is focused. On-device Whisper is built in (offline, private, unlimited) — or add a free Groq key for the fastest cloud engine and 99 languages.
Not a notes app you copy from — it pastes straight into the app you're using, at the cursor.
The built-in on-device Whisper engine never sends audio anywhere. No account. No telemetry.
Add your own free Groq key: sub-second transcription, 99 languages, ~$0.04/hour of audio if you ever exceed the free tier.
Plane, café with dead Wi-Fi, secure site — the on-device engine keeps dictating. Unlimited, forever.
Flip the pill to Jarvis: ask out loud and it answers out loud, hands-free. Optional always-on standby listening means you can just start talking. Powered by your own Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Groq key — your account, your data.
Teach it your names and jargon — “deck voice” → “DeckVoice”, done. Plus live stats and latency readouts.
Every subscription dictation app costs more in year one than DeckVoice costs forever — and you keep paying.

No — it's optional. DeckVoice ships with a free on-device Whisper engine that works offline with zero setup. If you want the fastest engine (sub-second, 99 languages), create a free key at console.groq.com and paste it into Settings. Groq's free tier covers most people; beyond it, speech costs about $0.04 per hour of audio — a heavy month is pocket change, and it's your key, on your account.
Jarvis is DeckVoice's built-in voice assistant. Instead of dictating, you flip the pill to Jarvis and ask out loud — it answers out loud, hands-free. Turn on optional always-on standby listening and you can just start talking. It runs on your own Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Groq key, so it's your account and your data — DeckVoice never sees it. Every new DeckVoice includes Jarvis; it's part of Pro.
Only if you choose the Groq engine — then audio goes to Groq under your own key. On the default on-device engine, audio never leaves your Mac. No accounts, no telemetry, either way.
macOS 12 Monterey or newer — Apple Silicon and Intel both. (On Intel it auto-picks a faster on-device model; cloud speed is identical everywhere.)
The standard ones for any dictation app: Microphone (to hear you) and Accessibility (to type/paste into other apps) — plus Input Monitoring if you use the hold-one-key mode. The app walks you through all of it with live status checks, once.
You get a signed key, delivered instantly on the thanks page and by email. It activates offline (no phone-home) and it's yours for life, with free updates. Use it on the Macs you personally use; buying more seats for a team? Just buy per person — it's $19.
The app has a built-in 14-day full trial. After it: on-device dictation stays free forever; the Groq cloud engine and the Jarvis voice assistant need the Pro license — that's what you're buying.
7 days, no questions. Email info@deckspace.dev and a real person refunds you fast.
macOS only for now. Tell us you want Windows — it genuinely moves the roadmap.
