Overview

VoiceOS is a voice operating system and AI voice assistant for Mac and Windows. It allows users to control applications using voice commands, going beyond simple dictation to perform actions such as sending emails, replying to messages, scheduling meetings, filing tickets, and searching the web. The software uses the cursor position as context, enabling users to point at on-screen elements and issue voice commands related to that element. It integrates with popular productivity apps including Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Linear, Obsidian, VS Code, and Chrome.

Full Description ▼

VoiceOS offers two primary modes: Agent Mode, which executes multi-step tasks in applications, and Dictation Mode, which converts speech to text for faster typing. The homepage claims that while typing offers 1x productivity and dictation 4x, VoiceOS provides 10x productivity by automating entire workflows. It is a freemium product with a downloadable installer for macOS and Windows. The company is backed by Y Combinator.
