What languages are supported?

Vocalis supports all languages available through the open-source models it uses, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and many more.

Is there a subscription or monthly fee?

No. Vocalis is a one-time purchase with no recurring fees.

What macOS version do I need?

How accurate is the transcription?

Vocalis uses Apple's latest on-device speech recognition models, which deliver high accuracy for natural speech. Results improve with clear audio and supported languages.

Can I use Vocalis in any app?
