FAQ

Common questions

Is my audio sent to the cloud?

Yes. Vocado uses a fast cloud transcription service. Your audio is processed and immediately deleted—we never store your recordings.

What about privacy?

We collect the minimum data needed to provide the service. No screenshots. No clipboard logging. No analytics. Just dictation.

Does it work offline?

Vocado requires internet for transcription. This is how we keep it lightning fast and the app tiny. If you need offline, we're not the right fit.

What if I click away mid-transcription?

We've got you. Vocado remembers your target app and can still insert text. If that fails, it copies to clipboard and shows a notification. Worst case? Hit ⌃⌘V to paste your last transcription anywhere.

Which apps does Vocado work with?

Any app that accepts text input: browsers, email clients, Slack, VS Code, Notes, Pages, Word—if you can type there, Vocado works there.

Mac only?

Yes, for now. iPhone is up next, and Windows and Android are on the roadmap.

How is this different from Apple's built-in dictation?

Faster, more accurate, works with any language, saves your history, and doesn't randomly stop working. Apple's dictation is fine for occasional use. Vocado is built for people who dictate 50+ times a day.
