Introducing Velocity: Voice-First Dictation for macOS

Founder & CEO • December 20, 2024 • 5 min read
Today marks a major milestone for our team. After two years of development, countless iterations, and feedback from thousands of beta testers, we're thrilled to announce the public launch of Velocity.
What is Velocity?
Velocity is a voice-to-text dictation app for macOS that works anywhere you can type. Press a hotkey, speak naturally, and watch your words appear in real-time. It's that simple.
But unlike other dictation tools, Velocity is built from the ground up with three principles:
1. Speed
Real-time transcription needs to feel instant. We've optimized every millisecond of our pipeline to achieve sub-300ms latency. You'll see words appear as you speak, not seconds later.
2. Intelligence
Generic transcription isn't enough. Velocity learns your vocabulary, understands context, and formats text appropriately for each application. Email in Gmail, code comments in VS Code, casual in Slack.
3. Privacy
Your voice is intimate. We process audio at the edge (Cloudflare's network), never store it permanently, and offer a full offline mode for when you need complete privacy.
How it works
1. **Download and install** – Takes under a minute 2. **Set your hotkey** – Default is ⌘+Shift+D 3. **Hold and speak** – Release to insert text 4. **That's it** – No configuration required
Pricing
We're launching with Lifetime Deal pricing:
- **Solo**: $49 – 60 minutes/month, 1 device
- **Pro**: $99 – 300 minutes/month, 3 devices
- **Agency**: $199 – Unlimited (BYOK), 10 devices
All plans include free updates forever and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What's next
This is just the beginning. We're working on Windows support, iOS/Android apps, and many more features based on your feedback.
