About FluidVox
FluidVox sits in the menu bar and converts speech into clean text in whichever app is open. You hold a hotkey, talk and release, and the text appears with filler words removed, spelling and punctuation fixed and grammar cleaned up, for example turning a rambling spoken line into a clear sentence. It offers six transcription styles, AI style matching, custom dictionaries and support for 99 languages.
It is available on macOS, Windows and iPhone, with Android described as coming soon. A local-model option processes dictation on your own machine, which privacy-minded users highlight, and the site shows real forum comments about accuracy and active development, alongside a changelog, FAQ and contact page. Pricing starts from $2.99 a month, with details on a pricing page.
