About VoiceBar
What is VoiceBar
VoiceBar is a voice layer for macOS that allows users to hold one key to dictate, ask, save, and find information. It is not just a dictation app but a system-wide tool that integrates with any application. Users can dictate into any app, ask questions about content on their screen, and save important information. Everything said is stored in a Library, which can be queried later with answers cited from saved sources and read aloud.
Key features
VoiceBar offers context-aware dictation that adapts to the field where the cursor is, writing in the appropriate style for the app. It works everywhere without requiring integrations or plugins, as it sits above the desktop. For developers, it can generate exact terminal commands and help brief AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Users can also select text and hold the Option key to ask questions about it.
Use cases
VoiceBar is useful for dictating messages in Slack, composing emails in Mail, or entering commands in a terminal. It can save important information and allow users to ask questions about their own library. For developers, it helps in writing commands and providing context to AI agents. It is designed for anyone who wants to interact with their Mac more efficiently using voice.
Pricing
VoiceBar offers a free plan with 2,000 words per week, 50 commands per week, and includes dictation in every app, history, and Library on your Mac. The Pro plan is available for $15 per month with annual billing, offering unlimited words, asks, saves, custom vocabulary, snippets, and full history. A 20% discount is available with annual billing, and users can cancel anytime.
