Key takeaways

  • Distribution: Mac App Store (sandboxed, notari

Voice Type is distributed through the Mac App Store. Apple’s sandboxing applies, and you can see unfiltered reviews - good and bad - right on our listing.

During dictation, your audio stays on your Mac. Network calls are limited to receipt checks and optional “bring‑your‑own‑key” rewrites if you enable them.

TL;DR

  • Distribution: Mac App Store (sandboxed, notarized, signed).
  • Reviews: verified App Store reviews — including critical ones — are visible publicly.
  • Privacy: dictation runs on-device; optional rewrites only happen with your own API key.
