Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Josiah, one of the co-founders of Voquill. We're building this product because we found AI dictation to be an incredibly useful tool. We believe that great tools should be transparent and available for everyone to contribute to, use, and have full confidence that their data is safe. That's why we're building Voquill as a fully open-source alternative to WisprFlow.
Voquill works in any app and runs on any operating system. You can run it using our cloud, connect it to an API of your choosing, or even run it entirely locally. For enterprise users, we can also set up a private cloud so you can use Voquill with 100% confidence that your data stays completely private.
Would love to hear what you think!
Thanks,
Josiah, Henry, & Michael
Interesting. Can I “consult” with the AI? That is, I say who I’m writing to, what I want to write about, and what points to emphasize, and the AI generates the text itself?
The cross-platform support and local model option are attractive for developer workflows. I'm curious about language handling—does the speech recognition support multiple languages like Japanese, and if so, does the AI formatting adapt to each language's writing conventions?
I have been hesitant to go all-in on tools like WisprFlow specifically because of privacy concerns regarding voice data. The fact that Voquill is an open-source alternative is a huge selling point for anyone working with sensitive information. Knowing exactly how my data is handled—and potentially self-hosting or running it locally—makes this a much safer bet for drafting confidential emails or internal docs.
When someone is choosing between Voquill and a polished closed-source option like Wispr Flow, what are the differences that actually matter in daily use?
my wrists usually ache after a long day of typing so I am definitely moving my drafting process over to voice now.
Sounds great. Congrats on the launch . Am I right in thinking that this is only available on Desktop and chrome browser on mobile at the moment? If so, when do you think this will be available to use on mobile in Safari ?
