Does the v1 license still work?
works for me
I like how the dev is focused on super optimizing the app. Love it. It's so fast and stable.
Longtime user and big fan of VoiceInk ! Happy to see a v2.0!
Awesome. The updates look incredible.
I've been super happy with Spokenly . What does this do better?
It's my primary on 2 macs. v2 doesn't seem any better... and the "onboarding" wasn't appreciated (I was already onboarded), in fact it reverted a lot of my settings. Definitely not a smooth upgrade. I did try FluidVoice (also mentioned in comments) and wanted to keep using it but it kept crashing on me (latest macOS, latest Macs).
I agree on the onboarding experience being unnecessary. Although I didn't lose any data. I created one fake profile during onboarding, and when I reached my modes, my previous profiles from version 1.0 were already available.
I wish this worked for me! But somewhere along the versioning, it just stops listening for hotkeys. I have to fully reboot. It's a known issue on git but it hasn't been fixed.
remove it full and reinstall. Use appcleaner to do that.
This is some sick shit. Some ideas on how to use the advance command output. Here's how to say "new reminder xxxxx" and have voiceink create an apple reminder in a "VoiceInk" reminders list. escaped=$(printf "%s" "$VOICEINK_TRANSCRIPT" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g; s/"/\\"/g') osascript <<EOF tell application "Reminders" if not (exists list "VoiceInk") then make new list with properties {name:"VoiceInk"} end if tell list "VoiceInk" make new reminder with properties {name:"$escaped"} end tell end tell EOF Or, do a search on perplexity: query=$(printf "%s" "$VOICEINK_TRANSCRIPT" | LC_ALL=C od -An -tx1 -v | tr -d ' \n' | sed 's/../%&/g') open "https://www.perplexity.ai/search/?q=$query" Search amazon order history... query=$(printf "%s" "$VOICEINK_TRANSCRIPT" | LC_ALL=C od -An -tx1 -v | tr -d ' \n' | sed 's/../%&/g') open "https://www.amazon.com/your-orders/search/ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_search?opt=ab&search=$query" Some of the above could be cleaned up I'm sure. For example, something as simple as this will run a Shortcut: osascript -e 'tell application "Shortcuts Events" to run shortcut "Voiceink test"' Run the shortcut and pass everything you spoke following the trigger word(s). For example, speak what I want to have copied to my iphone's clipboard. (Shortcut receives voiceink and copies shortcut input to the clipboard---sans trigger words) #!/bin/bash trigger="run shortcut" # Lowercase compare, strip leading/trailing spaces lower=$(printf "%s" "$VOICEINK_TRANSCRIPT" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]') # Remove leading trigger phrase tail=${lower#"$trigger"} # Trim leading space if present tail=$(printf "%s" "$tail" | sed 's/^ //') # Escape for AppleScript double quotes and backslashes escaped=$(printf "%s" "$tail" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g; s/"/\\"/g') osascript <<EOF tell application "Shortcuts Events" run shortcut "Voiceink test" with input "$escaped" end tell EOF Everyone probably know this basic stuff---but exciting to learn this and have it working with voiceink. Now, time for some home assistant voice commands! Love this update. I had been using superwhisper and macrowhisper---but this is looking like an ideal replacement.
pretty good. I have similar stuff in it. using superwhisper and macrowhisper- same. Voiceink provides it in a consolidated app, easier to manager and more stable. SW and MW integration break all the time
Love the new update! Was wondering if iCloud sync for settings is coming soon? I have 2 macs that I use regularly and being able to sync settings, prompts etc. would be amazing.
I’m very happy with the open source free on device options available. I use FluidVoice.
Same. I've tried many transcription apps and FluidVoice continues to be my go to. FOSS for the win.
Open Source is gonna take over the world! Great work!
I bought this app about 4 months ago and use it daily, but haven't tried this 2.0 just yet. It's been a great transcription tool and I appreciate that it's a one-time payment. The developer responds to emails himself, is really positive in general, and has an active Discord. Nothing not to like about the support he provides. This would be one use case I'm not going to spend any time "vibe coding" something.
Great
I love voiceink. One question, if I bough v1.0, is it eligible for update
Trying Handy after using WisprFlow for a long time. It seems great despite the unfortunate name…
I can't find your Discord link for Voice Ink. What's happening?
nice update, been a user :)
Thanks for sharing. Got it two days ago and I love it.
There are dozens of free apps these days. And may with very low one time pricing. No need to go for any one that charges a fancy price, let alone a subscription. You can vibe code your own too.
