Voice Translation for Mac
Voxt translates speech and selected text without making you leave the app where you are working. Speak, choose a target language, and insert the translated result into the focused input—or select existing text and translate it directly.
At a glance
- Translate the result of a voice transcription into a target language.
- Translate selected text without dictating it again.
- Use custom terminology and model settings for recurring language workflows.
- Copy the result or insert it into the focused field when the workflow supports it.
Two ways to translate
Translation can start with your voice or with text that is already on screen. That makes Voxt useful for both composing a message and understanding or transforming a selection.
Translate after transcription
Speak in your source language, let Voxt transcribe the audio, and pass the result to the translation model for the target language.
Translate selected text
Select text in the current app, trigger translation, and receive the translated result without re-entering the original content.
Keep terminology consistent
Use model settings, custom instructions, or dictionary terms to guide recurring product names, technical vocabulary, and bilingual phrases.
Translation for real desktop work
A desktop translation workflow is most useful when the output can return to the conversation, document, or editor where the task started.
Bilingual communication
Draft a message in the language that is most natural to speak, then translate it before sending.
Research and reading
Select an unfamiliar passage and translate it in place or keep the result available for copying into notes.
Technical and product language
Pair translation with custom rules so names, commands, and domain-specific terms are handled consistently.
FAQ
Can Voxt translate selected text?
Yes. Select text in the current Mac app and trigger the translation workflow. Voxt sends the selection through the configured translation model and returns a result that you can copy or insert where supported.
Can Voxt translate voice recordings?
Voxt can translate the text produced from a voice transcription workflow. The speech is first recognized by the selected ASR channel, then the transcript is translated into the target language.
Can I use custom translation terminology?
Yes. Custom model instructions and dictionary settings can guide recurring terminology. Because model behavior varies, review important translations before publishing or sending them.
Does translation work across Mac apps?
Voxt is designed as a menu bar workflow for the app you are already using. The available insertion behavior depends on the selected text, focused input, and macOS permissions in that app.
