Everything you might want to know about turning your voice into clean text with Glacey.
Glacey turns your voice into clean, ready-to-send text. You talk the way you normally would, with all the ums and false starts and rambling, and Glacey gives you back something you'd actually want to send. It works right inside whatever app you're already typing in.
Built-in dictation transcribes you literally: every "um", every "wait, no", every missing comma. Glacey does the cleanup too. It removes filler words, fixes the punctuation and grammar, and turns a spoken ramble into a written sentence. So the text is done when you stop talking, not when you finish editing.
Anywhere you can type. Gmail, Notion, Slack, your code editor, the terminal, a browser search bar. If there's a text field, Glacey can put text in it. There's nothing to copy and paste.
Right now Glacey is a macOS menu-bar app with a global hotkey. iOS, Windows, and other platforms are on the way. If you want one of those, vote on the wishlist and we'll let you know when it lands.
Yes. You sign in with Google, which keeps your word count and settings ready to follow you to new platforms as they launch.
Download the macOS app, sign in, and grant microphone and accessibility access when prompted. Then press Option + Space anywhere, talk, and release. Your cleaned-up text lands wherever your cursor is.
Accessibility access is what lets Glacey insert text into the app you're currently using, instead of making you copy and paste from a separate window. It's a standard macOS permission for tools that type on your behalf, and Glacey only uses it to place your transcribed text.
Your text usually appears in under a second after you stop talking. For most people that's around four times faster than typing the same thing.
Yes. Glacey has a raw transcription mode that gives you a faithful word-for-word transcript, and an enhanced mode that cleans everything up. Pick whichever fits, and check the pricing page for which plans include each.
No. Transcription and cleanup run in the cloud, so Glacey needs an internet connection to work. That's what lets a lightweight app deliver high-accuracy results without draining your battery.
Over 100 languages, with especially strong accuracy across European languages. You can even switch languages mid-sentence. Start in French, drop in a Spanish phrase, finish in English, and Glacey keeps up. See the full list of supported languages.
Very. Glacey is built on best-in-class speech recognition, and the cleanup step actually improves readability beyond a raw transcript. Accuracy is best with a decent microphone in a reasonably quiet room, but it handles natural, conversational speech well, including accents.
Generally yes. Glacey does well with everyday names and common technical vocabulary. For very specialized or invented terms it may occasionally guess, but the cleanup step keeps the surrounding text correct so a quick fix is all you'll need.
