Is There a VoiceInk for Windows?

The short answer

No.

VoiceInk, the open-source dictation app from tryvoiceink.com, runs on Apple Silicon Macs, with an iPhone and iPad companion app, and has no Windows version. SayCopyPaste does the same core job on Windows: hold a key, talk, let go, and your words land on the clipboard, ready to paste.

Where VoiceInk and SayCopyPaste each win

What VoiceInk genuinely does well

  • Open source under GPL v3, and free if you build it yourself; the ready-made app is $25 once for one Mac.
  • Its local models transcribe on the Mac itself and work offline, so your voice stays on the machine.
  • AI enhancement that strips filler words, formats emails and lists, and rewrites selected text, with modes per app.

What SayCopyPaste gives you on Windows

  • A native Windows app for Windows 10 or 11 (x64) that lives in the system tray.
  • Hold Right Alt to talk and let go, or tap it for hands-free; Right Shift, Right Ctrl or Right Win work too.
  • Hold Ctrl as you start, and your next words join the last ones on the clipboard.
  • A signed installer that needs no admin prompt and updates itself, so there's nothing to build.
  • The same account on Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, with your dictations synced as text and readable in your browser.

VoiceInk for Windows: FAQs

Can I run VoiceInk on Windows?

No. VoiceInk is built for Apple Silicon Macs, with an iPhone and iPad companion app, and has no Windows build.

Is there a VoiceInk alternative for Windows?

Yes. SayCopyPaste runs natively on Windows 10 and 11: hold a key, talk, let go, and your words land on your clipboard. If free, open-source, on-device transcription matters more to you, Handy is free under the MIT license and runs its speech models on your PC, on Windows, Mac and Linux.

What happens to my voice?

It's sent securely for transcription, and SayCopyPaste keeps the text, never the audio.

Can I try SayCopyPaste on Windows for free?

Yes. Try every feature free for 24 hours, no card needed, or start a plan with 7 days free. Then it's $9.99/mo, $95.99/yr or $399 once, and the annual and lifetime plans also unlock the 8 other premium Bravely utilities.

Is VoiceInk Mac only?

Apple only. Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14.4 or later, plus an iPhone and iPad app that's free during its beta. There's no Windows, Linux, Android or Intel Mac version; SayCopyPaste runs on all four.

Is there an official VoiceInk for Windows download?

No. VoiceInk's developer ships it only for the Mac, iPhone and iPad, so a file offered as VoiceInk for Windows isn't theirs. SayCopyPaste's Windows installer is signed by Bravely Studios LLC and downloads from bravely.dev.

Does Windows 11 have built-in voice to text?

Yes. Press Windows key + H with the cursor in a text box and Windows types what you say, free, on Windows 10 too. SayCopyPaste works differently: hold Right Alt, talk, let go, and your words land on the clipboard and in a history that syncs to your other devices and your browser.

When you should stay with VoiceInk

If you're on an Apple Silicon Mac and want free, open-source dictation that stays on your machine, stay with VoiceInk. SayCopyPaste is for dictation on a Windows PC, where VoiceInk doesn't run, and on your Mac, Linux machine and phone alongside it.
