What is Univocal?

Univocal is a local-only dictation and read-aloud app for Mac that brings one workflow across all the apps, with bilingual support and text highlighting.

Read-aloud: select text and Univocal reads it aloud, highlighting each word as it's spoken so you can follow along with your eyes and ears. It's useful for long articles and dense documents, or verbose answers by AI.

Dictation: speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is: email, notes, chat, or other apps where you'd normally type. Write a draft by voice, then have it read back to you.

Mixed-language support: Univocal supports mixed-language text for reading and mixed-language speech for dictation. Results vary with the language pair and content.

On-device processing: your text and voice are processed on your Mac rather than sent to a cloud speech service. After downloading the required models and completing setup, the speech features work offline. Model downloads, license activation/checks, and updates require internet access.

One-time purchase, with no subscription or usage caps. One license covers up to three Macs. A full 14-day free trial is available. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later.
