NovaVoice is Your Voice OS that lets you work at the speed of thought. Typing is slow. Switching apps breaks focus. Formatting wastes time. Speak at 200+ wpm, get context-aware text. Hit hotkey, ask anything without googling. Execute actions without switching apps (just with voice commands). NovaVoice remembers contacts, addresses, links. NovaVoice writes, answers, and acts across your desktop.
A few months ago, I realized: voice is the interface nature gave us. It's fast, intuitive, effortless. Yet when we sit at our computers, we default to typing — even though speaking is at least 4x faster.
That felt wrong.
So my co-founders and I built NovaVoice — a Voice OS that writes, answers questions, and acts across your entire desktop. Not just dictation.
What makes NovaVoice different:
1. Context-aware writing — speak naturally in your email client, get professional emails. Dictate into Notion, get formatted Markdown. NovaVoice knows where you are and formats accordingly.
2. AI assistant on any screen — hit a hotkey, ask anything by voice. Translate text, get answers, research — no switching to browser or ChatGPT.
3. Voice commands across apps — you're coding. Say "Ask Maria in WhatsApp if design is ready." NovaVoice opens WhatsApp, finds Maria, drafts the message. You just hit send.
4. Smart popover — Reformat any text instantly using preset styles or type any custom instruction on the fly. No switching to Grammarly or ChatGPT to polish your writing.
5. Custom Dictionary — NovaVoice remembers your shortcuts: contacts, addresses, loyalty numbers. Say "email Maria" or "insert home address" — no need to spell things out every time.
6. Cross-language quality — switch between languages mid-sentence. NovaVoice catches proper names, abbreviations, grammar automatically.
I use NovaVoice daily for prompting AI models, writing emails, code comments, quick Slack messages, repetitive actions in daily apps, and asking the assistant by voice instead of googling — without breaking flow or switching windows.
What's next:
- More app integrations and voice commands
- Near-instant transcription
- Personalization that learns your writing style
We built this for productivity, but realized it has real impact for people with limited mobility. Voice isn't just faster — for some, it's essential.
App is slow and laggy. I don't understand why this entire community is so quick to jump on things, give it praise, and not even test it out. It takes forever for the initial popup to start, and then the transcription takes significantly longer than Whisperflow. Good attempt. Better feature set for sure. Will revisit at some point.
What happens when the AI misunderstands intent, is there a quick way to correct without breaking flow?
The "execute actions without switching apps" claim is the interesting one. What's the actual scope of that? Like can I say "add this email address to my HubSpot contact" while I'm in Gmail, or is it more like "open Spotify, play my focus playlist"? Those are very different levels of useful for a knowledge worker.
Congrats on the launch guys. Test it compared to wispr flow. Wondering will you offer lifetime offer? Thats what im most interested in right now.
Congratulations on the launch! I’ve been testing it out and the Q&A is incredibly snappy, but I’m hitting a small snag with the Assistant actions. When I trigger an action, it gets stuck on "Running tools" and won't let me click confirm. Is there a trick to getting those voice commands to execute? Keep up the great work!
The "5x faster than typing" angle is real — I've been looking for something that handles context-aware formatting, not just raw transcription. Most dictation tools feel like they're stuck in 2015.
Curious how it handles technical jargon or mixed-language input (e.g., switching between English and another language mid-sentence). That's usually where voice tools break down for me.
Congrats on the launch!
One more voice to text app, why? I'm using spokenly mac app - it's the best choice for local free models with local history, no cloud, full privacy, great ui. How does you compare?
This is a really clean execution on a category that's been messy for years. The 45 wpm typing vs 200+ wpm speaking framing is a strong hook ,makes the value obvious in one glance.
Quick question: how well does it handle accents and technical vocabulary? Most dictation tools I've tried fall apart on anything outside neutral American English, especially for non-native speakers. Curious if you've tested it with Indian/European accents.
Either way, congrats on the launch 🚀
Really impressive work, congrats on the launch! NovaVoice’s transcription is surprisingly accurate. I was especially curious to test how it handles mixed language input, since I often switch between Portuguese and English mid-sentence (which usually breaks most tools), but it handled it much better than expected.
I also like the broader vision of a “Voice OS”, reducing context switching and moving closer to working at the speed of thought feels like a natural next step.
One thing I’d be curious to explore further is how it performs in more complex or noisy real-world scenarios, and how much control users have over formatting and actions. But overall, this is a very promising direction, excited to keep testing it.
This feels like a shift from “apps as interfaces” to “intent as interface.” The context-aware formatting across tools is especially interesting — that’s where most voice tools break.
Curious: how are you handling ambiguity in commands across apps? Like if I say “message Alex,” how does NovaVoice decide between Slack, WhatsApp, email, etc.?
Also, how far are you planning to push automation — more like assistant suggestions, or full-on agent actions?
This is a nice reminder that I shouldn't always be typing since voice dictation is so much faster. What languages does NovaVoice support right now?
I like the idea of a voice-first workflow, but the real challenge is always consistency once you move beyond demos. Acting across apps, formatting text, and staying context-aware sounds great, but in day-to-day messy usage things usually break or need correction. How close is this to something you can actually rely on without constantly fixing outputs or switching back to keyboard?
Interesting, and looks quite sophisticated!
But it won't be useful for me as I can't conceive what I want to write faster than I can type normally...
As someone who loves WhisprFlow but can't work with it, coz it's not fast and understanding enough (I am suprised too), I am very hopeful here!
