Dictation should feel
like a native reflex.

Vorb stays out of your way. No meeting bots, no transcript dashboard, no new place to work. Just one shortcut between a thought and the cursor.

01

Speak anywhere

Your transcript lands in the focused app, ready to send or keep editing.

02

Keep it local

Run Whisper on Apple silicon when your audio should never leave the Mac.

03

Choose your model

Use Local Whisper, Groq, OpenAI, Deepgram, Mistral, or your own endpoint.
