NovaVoice is Your Voice OS that lets you work at the speed of thought. Typing is slow. Switching apps breaks focus. Formatting wastes time. Speak at 200+ wpm, get context-aware text. Hit hotkey, ask anything without googling. Execute actions without switching apps (just with voice commands). NovaVoice remembers contacts, addresses, links. NovaVoice writes, answers, and acts across your desktop.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Rustam, founder of NovaVoice.
A few months ago, I realized: voice is the interface nature gave us. It's fast, intuitive, effortless. Yet when we sit at our computers, we default to typing — even though speaking is at least 4x faster.
That felt wrong.
So my co-founders and I built NovaVoice — a Voice OS that writes, answers questions, and acts across your entire desktop. Not just dictation.
What makes NovaVoice different:
1. Context-aware writing — speak naturally in your email client, get professional emails. Dictate into Notion, get formatted Markdown. NovaVoice knows where you are and formats accordingly.
2. AI assistant on any screen — hit a hotkey, ask anything by voice. Translate text, get answers, research — no switching to browser or ChatGPT.
3. Voice commands across apps — you're coding. Say "Ask Maria in WhatsApp if design is ready." NovaVoice opens WhatsApp, finds Maria, drafts the message. You just hit send.
4. Smart popover — Reformat any text instantly using preset styles or type any custom instruction on the fly. No switching to Grammarly or ChatGPT to polish your writing.
5. Custom Dictionary — NovaVoice remembers your shortcuts: contacts, addresses, loyalty numbers. Say "email Maria" or "insert home address" — no need to spell things out every time.
6. Cross-language quality — switch between languages mid-sentence. NovaVoice catches proper names, abbreviations, grammar automatically.
I use NovaVoice daily for prompting AI models, writing emails, code comments, quick Slack messages, repetitive actions in daily apps, and asking the assistant by voice instead of googling — without breaking flow or switching windows.
What's next:
- More app integrations and voice commands
- Near-instant transcription
- Personalization that learns your writing style
We built this for productivity, but realized it has real impact for people with limited mobility. Voice isn't just faster — for some, it's essential.
NovaVoice works on Mac & Windows.
We'd love to hear your feedback!

@rustam_khasanov The future is already here (and just a short while ago, it seemed like something straight out of science fiction).
I’ve already tried a few similar projects and now I’m going to test yours.
NovaVoice
@maria_anosova you're 100% right - and the majority of people still don't use dictation because they've only seen the quality of the built-in one... we are going to fix that and show people that dictation can be 100% accurate just like hand-typed text, but at least 4x faster than typing

@rustam_khasanov congrats on the launch!
NovaVoice
@nastassia_k Thank you, Nastassia!
@rustam_khasanov Congratulations on the launch! How does it handle noisy environments or accents outside English, like Indian English?
NovaVoice
@swati_paliwal Thanks!
Noisy environments are handled good, I use NovaVoice right near my co-founder who uses it too and we both don't have problems with the final output.
As for the accents - it handles it quite good.
One of the users commented today in here: "As for Bengali Language, it worked well if I spoke slowly and clearly but in English, I could speak naturally and it got my words correctly. Well, the thing is that most apps do not provide any quality output in my language at all."
While we can't check all of the languages and accents by a team of 3 by now, our users don't mention that they have problems with accents or different languages.
Please reach us if you'd have any problems with the transcribe quality or anything else - we will figure it out
@rustam_khasanov sounds like this could really work. you got my vote 🙌🏻 at the same time i found that i'm slower with voice commands. i need time to figure out what to say and typing gives me this opportunity. let's see if you can change it.

@andrew_white_13 Thank you for the comment Andrew!
That's true that for some people it's way easier to first think then formulate and only then write.
Not everybody is capable to think out loud to get sent ready text until the habit gained.
But it's not the only use case of dictation.
You can just think out loud while brainstorming. When you have too many thoughts and too many ideas you just open the blank paper and start dictating into there. You'll have messy thoughts but written down and grammatically correct.
Then you work with that (and you can format it instantly using our formatting features).
Moreover we can work as an AI assistant.
You can ask assistant about anything from any screen without switching windows to browser and googling or searching in perplexity.
And we are also capable of performing actions in apps by voice.
For example sending messages in WhatsApp or emails in Gmail. 100% by voice. Just say it.
Nova Voice opens Gmail, drafts a message, drafts a subject, inserts the recipient in the "To" field and you just press send. So many use cases beyond dictation.
You should definitely try it:)
By the way if you'd like to have a one on one onboarding session just reach me out and I will be happy to assist you.
@rustam_khasanov great idea guys. I really wanted to try it but it doesn't work on Linux (((
just one fix needed - u forgot to add that the app should be able to open links nova:// to the .deb
unfortunately couldn't use it yet as your version works only with latest ubuntu versions ((( but u know what? I'm really considering of updating my ubuntu just to be able to use ur app ))) that's crazy
PLEASE! publish a tutorial and system requiremnets at least on the website.

@curiouskitty Thank you for a comment and for your questions.
We take safety over speed.
That's why we don't choose the track that tools like OpenClaw follow.
First of all, we have a limited number of integrations by now, and we don't ask user for Oauth to each app.
Example: the user says "ask Michael on WhatsApp If we have a meeting at 3pm", we don't execute this automatically. We ask users' permission to execute that option. And then we open WhatsApp window, we draft the message in the chat with Michael already, but pressing the send button is on user's behalf.
We understand that it's a bit slower comparing to tools that do this automatically, but we take security over speed.
Then we will figure out the most popular use cases, what integrations the users need - we will scale this, focusing on reliability.
For now, we can't perform "read actions" on purpose in current integrations - only draft the text in the required window in WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, Google Calendar, Todoist, and Twitter. We can only get posts from HackerNews and turn on music in Spotify.
I have used Nova Voice (Free Version) and it worked fine with me. I am sharing my experience here:
1. AI assistant is good. It could answer all of my questions. So, it will surely cut one’s time with ChatGPT or similar apps just for finding information or questions answers.
2. I asked questions in English and also in Bengali (my mother tongue) and I was surpised happily with the fact that it worked in Bengali Language and provided me the information I was seeking in my mother tongue.
3. As for transcription, it worked perfectly in English language speech typing or dictation. Auto punctuation is also up to the mark and then after you finish typing you can improve your writing and it also worked well.
4. As for Bengali Language, it worked well if I spoke slowly and clearly but in English, I could speak naturally and it got my words correctly. Well, the thing is that most apps do not provide any quality output in my language at all. So, Nova Voice stands out in this regard in a very nice way. Of course, I want better support.
4. It will surely help writers and bloggers.
5. The only thing that I wish better was speed. I hope that they will improve this in the next version.
Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.

@razib_ahmed4 Thank you for such detailed feedback, that means truly a lot for us on this early stage. I will reach you on LinkedIn and will personally help you with onboarding and answer all the questions.
Regarding the speed, yes, we are working on that and we will fix it as soon as possible. I will notify you personally when we launch the next version with the better speed.
NovaVoice
@razib_ahmed4 thank you for your detailed feedback!
We support many languages and allow to switch between them easily. Your feedback is incredible valuable, and improving transcription quality and speed is one of our top priorities in near future.
Really impressive work, congrats on the launch! NovaVoice’s transcription is surprisingly accurate. I was especially curious to test how it handles mixed language input, since I often switch between Portuguese and English mid-sentence (which usually breaks most tools), but it handled it much better than expected.
I also like the broader vision of a “Voice OS”, reducing context switching and moving closer to working at the speed of thought feels like a natural next step.
One thing I’d be curious to explore further is how it performs in more complex or noisy real-world scenarios, and how much control users have over formatting and actions. But overall, this is a very promising direction, excited to keep testing it.
NovaVoice
@matheusdsantosr_dev Matheus, thanks for your comment.
I'm very happy to hear that you are surprised with our accuracy, including mid-sentence language switch.
I also do it almost every time I work on the computer, switching between English and Russian, and it really works good.
We perform quite well in noisy real-world scenarios. We have tested it already ourselves.
For now, users have the full control over formatting and actions, and we are going to improve this user experience even more. Happy to hear that overall you find our tool as a promising direction, and I'm always open to onboard you personally on a one-on-one call if you would need it.

@vlad_shipilov Thank you! We have worked a lot to make it possible.

@hex_miller_bakewell Hi, Hex!
Most data stays on your device - messages, history, tool call results, settings, and window context too
We don't auto-send anything in WhatsApp or take other sensitive actions in external apps
OAuth is strictly for login now
We take privacy serisously and constantly improve it
NovaVoice
@hex_miller_bakewell Thank you for your support!
Let's dive into how we manage your data, as it is a critical aspect of our policy of transparency. Your screen context is always processed right on your device. We do not parse your file system and don't have access to do it. The only thing we handle is the name of the current open window and the text you highlight inside the active input.
Limitations for apps we can control are clear — these are the currently implemented integrations between Nova Voice and your apps: WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail in browser, Product Hunt and Twitter. Even all of these apps can be opened by Nova Voice only by your voice, and we allow you to decide whether to send the dictated message inside it or not. We only handle opening your apps and you decide what to do, as it is critical to us to not have potential vulnerabilities like OpenClaw does.
We have OAuth to handle your authentication inside our app, not to provide access to your other apps. As mentioned, we just open requested apps and do not access data inside them, so OAuth is not needed for that.
So the data we have collected is:
preferences of our app
your email
We do NOT use your data to train models
been waiting for voice that handles navigation, not just transcription. which apps have you tested beyond the obvious ones?
NovaVoice
@mykola_kondratiuk We now have integrations with Gmail, Google Calendar, Todoist, X, WhatsApp, Telegram, Spotify, and Hacker News.
We plan to constantly add new apps integrations and enable users to perform more actions in each app.
solid list - Hacker News is a fun one. good coverage for async workflows across the usual tools.
NovaVoice
@mykola_kondratiuk Thanks. By the way, if you give it a try and decide you'd like to see some specific integration, please let me know.
NovaVoice
AppleScript is a solid bridge - more flexibility than most voice apps offer. that covers a lot of the navigation gap I was asking about.
NovaVoice
@mykola_kondratiuk Completely agree!
The technology is so underrated as it allow to manipulate apps by native macos language with a lot of capabilities. We're going to improve builtin use cases using it.
Give it a try and share your experience with us or the community, it will be helpful!
