Shopper questions

Does Univocal require internet or a cloud service?

No. Everything happens on your Mac. Both the speech recognition and synthesis run on your own hardware, so nothing you say or read ever leaves your machine.

Is there a subscription cost?

No. Univocal is a one-time purchase that you buy once and it stays yours. You can read and dictate as much as you like for as long as you like with no word limits or subscription charges.

What are the system requirements?

Univocal requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later. It runs the speech engine that requires these specifications.
