Responding to "do founders dogfood their own apps?", the creator of Voibe — a dictation app for Mac and Windows — says he dictates into every text field on his computer, including that very tweet.
Key facts:
- Privacy-first: open-source models only, zero retention, voice never used for training, no third-party AI routing
- Claims 12M words transcribed and 12,000 hours saved for 3,000+ professionals
- Pricing: $7.50/month, $59/year, or a limited $149 lifetime license; includes unlimited dictation, custom vocabulary, smart punctuation, and memory
- Works system-wide in any app, pitched on speed and stability
A noteworthy local-first option for heavy typers who care about voice-data privacy.
