About Univocal

Univocal is a local voice layer for macOS that reads any text aloud and types what you say — all on-device. It offers select-to-read (⌥⇧R) with a lightweight overlay and adjustable speed/voice, and hold-right-Option dictation that types at your cursor with inferred punctuation and breaks. Nothing leaves your Mac; no account or subscription is required. Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later. Free to try; one-time purchase.

  • Privacy-first: nothing leaves the Mac, no account required
