Voicy Review

What Is Voicy?

Most voice typing tools force you to pick a platform: Mac-only apps like Superwhisper, Windows-only like DictaFlow, or Chrome-only extensions like Voice In. Voicy works across all three — native Mac and Windows desktop apps plus a Chrome extension, all under one subscription. Press a keyboard shortcut in any app or browser tab, speak, and text appears.

Voicy supports 50+ languages with automatic punctuation and grammar correction. The company claims over 99% accuracy, though real-world results depend on microphone quality, accent, and background noise. At $8.49/month (or a $220 one-time lifetime purchase), it's positioned for professionals who work across multiple platforms and want a consistent dictation experience everywhere.

Cross-Platform Coverage

The killer feature is coverage. On Mac, Voicy runs as a system-wide dictation app — activate it in any application and text goes into the active field. On Windows, same thing. The Chrome extension handles browser-specific text fields. One subscription, one set of keyboard shortcuts, consistent behavior across your entire setup.

For professionals who split time between a MacBook and a Windows desktop, or who switch between native apps and browser-based tools throughout the day, this eliminates the need for separate dictation solutions on each platform.

Pricing: $8.49/Month or $220 Lifetime

Voicy offers a 30-minute free trial (not 30 days — 30 minutes of actual dictation time) to test the tool before committing. After that, the Pro plan costs $8.49/month with unlimited recording time and priority support. The Lifetime plan at $220 is a one-time payment for permanent access.

Compared to free alternatives like Voice In's basic plan or Google Docs Voice Typing, $8.49/month is a meaningful subscription. The value proposition rests on cross-platform coverage — if you only need Chrome dictation, Voice In is cheaper. If you only use Mac, Superwhisper and Wispr Flow offer more features at similar or lower price points. Voicy's edge is being the one tool that works everywhere.

Accuracy and Auto-Formatting

Voicy claims over 99% accuracy with automatic punctuation insertion and grammar correction applied on the fly. In practice, accuracy on clear English speech with a decent microphone is high — comparable to other tools using modern speech recognition backends. The automatic punctuation handles periods, commas, and question marks without voice commands.

Grammar correction is a differentiator few dictation tools offer. Rather than just transcribing exactly what you say, Voicy attempts to clean up grammatical errors in the output. This helps when you speak in fragments or lose track of sentence structure mid-thought — common in natural dictation.

Multilingual Support

50+ languages are supported, making Voicy viable for multilingual professionals and international teams. Language switching appears to be handled within the app settings rather than voice-command-based switching. The supported languages cover major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages.

For users who frequently dictate in multiple languages throughout the day — say, English emails followed by Spanish messages — the broad language support eliminates the need for separate dictation tools per language.

Integrations and Workflow

Voicy lists integrations with Gmail, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Outlook, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude, Medium, Trello, Asana, Discord, Slack, Evernote, and HubSpot. These aren't deep integrations in the plugin sense — rather, Voicy's system-wide dictation works in these apps because it types into whatever application is active. If an app has a text input field, Voicy can dictate into it.

Voicy vs Voice In

Voice In is Chrome-only but free for basic use and $60/year for the Plus plan. Voicy works on Mac and Windows desktop apps in addition to Chrome, but costs $101.88/year on the monthly plan. If your work happens entirely in Chrome, Voice In offers better value. If you regularly dictate into native desktop applications — Word, Slack desktop, VS Code, terminal — Voicy covers ground that Voice In cannot.

Voicy vs Wispr Flow and Superwhisper

Wispr Flow ($9.99/month) offers deeper AI features — context-aware tone adaptation, auto-correction, and a more polished Mac experience. Superwhisper (from $8/month) lets you choose between AI models for different accuracy-privacy tradeoffs. Both are Mac-focused.

Voicy's advantage is Windows support. If you need dictation on both Mac and Windows with a single tool, neither Wispr Flow nor Superwhisper covers that. If you're Mac-only, the competitors offer more sophisticated features at comparable prices.

Limitations

The 30-minute free trial is stingy — enough to test basic functionality but not enough to evaluate the tool across your real daily workflow. At $8.49/month, Voicy is more expensive than most Chrome extensions and less feature-rich than premium Mac dictation apps at similar price points. There's no offline mode, no local processing option, and no published details on which speech recognition engine powers the tool. Custom voice commands and text expansion features are absent.

Verdict

Voicy fills a specific gap: dictation that works on Mac, Windows, and Chrome under one subscription. If you genuinely split your workflow across all three platforms, it eliminates the hassle of juggling separate tools. The $220 lifetime option makes the economics work for long-term users. Best for multi-platform professionals who want a single dictation tool everywhere. Skip if you're Mac-only (Wispr Flow and Superwhisper are better) or Chrome-only (Voice In is cheaper).
