About Vocemo
Vocemo is an on-device AI toolkit for macOS that runs entirely on your own Mac, so nothing you say or share is uploaded. It types what you dictate into any app, transcribes recordings with speaker labels and captions, reads text aloud, and translates on the fly. Beyond dictation, Vocemo can answer questions about what is on your screen and handle a range of document jobs, making it a privacy-first alternative to cloud transcription and writing assistants.
