Vocelo
Application
2026-09-07 (2 months ago)
A macOS menu bar push-to-talk app. Hold the hotkey, speak, and release to insert the transcript into the focused application.
The default hotkey is Control + Shift + V and the default language is Japanese. While recording, a floating panel in the middle of the screen shows the live transcript. It never takes focus and fades out once the text has been inserted.
Features
- Start Voice Input in the menu records without holding a key
- If insertion fails, the last transcript can be copied from the menu (it is kept in memory only)
- Sleep or session lock cancels active recording
- The hotkey, auto punctuation, and language are set in
~/.config/vocelo/config.yaml
Requirements & notes
- Requires macOS 14 or later, and Microphone, Speech Recognition, and Accessibility access.
- Audio and transcripts are not saved to disk.
- Signed and notarized.
- Open source under the MIT License.
