IraVoice

IraVoice is a private, on-device dictation app for Mac that keeps your voice and text entirely on your computer. Designed for macOS 26+ on Apple Silicon, it offers two focused workflows: Private Mac Dictation for polished voice-to-text without cloud transcripts, and Voice-to-Spec for developers to turn rough spoken requirements into structured Markdown briefs.

Key features include:

• On-device speech recognition using Apple's Core ML models
• On-device formatting via Apple Intelligence
• No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud transcript history
• Microphone audio never leaves your Mac
• License verification via Gumroad (one-time purchase)
• Optional direct handoff to Codex or Claude Code (explicit opt-in)

Target audience: Mac users who value privacy, developers who want to dictate technical specs, and anyone seeking fast, accurate dictation without sacrificing data sovereignty.

Value proposition: One-time purchase ($50) with a 3-day full trial, no subscription. Transparent privacy claims with published benchmarks and a privacy matrix comparing 18 dictation products.
