Oravo converts spoken voice into clean text, then structured output — email, messages, summaries, and translations.

This preview runs entirely in your browser. It shapes text locally so you can feel the flow — no account, no request to any AI service, nothing sent anywhere. In the app, dictation and processing run on your Mac, and you can connect Anthropic or OpenAI for more advanced results.

How it works

Three steps, and you're back to work.

01

Press ⌥ Space

One shortcut summons Oravo from anywhere in macOS — no window to find, no app to switch to.

02

Speak naturally

Talk the way you think. Words appear as you speak, cleaned and punctuated, with nothing to memorise.

03

It lands in place

Take the text as-is, or pick an action first. Either way it drops straight into the app you were already in.

Your voice, across your Mac

One voice. Every app.

Oravo sits above everything. Wherever the cursor is, that's where your words land.

Works where you work

Your voice, inside the apps you already use.

Speak polished text and have Oravo type it straight into the apps you already live in. No copying. No switching. Just flow.

What Oravo does

Speak once. Get the finished thing.

Every action works on what you just said, in the app you're already in.

Rewrite

Reshape tone, length, and clarity.

Speak a rambling thought and get back something you'd be happy to send. Oravo strips the false starts, punctuates properly, and bends the register to the room — tight and casual in Messages, considered in Mail.

Translate

You speak yours. They read theirs.

Dictate in your language and send in theirs, then read their reply back in yours with one shortcut. Two people can hold an entire conversation while each stays fully in their own language.

Summarize

Long in. Short out.

Talk through a meeting, a call, or a week's worth of thinking, and get the shape of it back — decisions, owners, and what happens next. Drag in a recording and Oravo transcribes the whole file on your Mac first.

Key pointsDecisions Action itemsFile transcription
Summary
  • Launch moves to the 14th; marketing is already re-booked.
  • Priya owns the migration script, due Thursday.
  • Open question: whether enterprise accounts need a separate rollout.
Email & documents

Speak an email. Send a finished one.

Say what you want to happen and Oravo writes the whole thing — greeting, structure, a clear ask, and a sign-off that sounds like you. It arrives in your drafts, not in another window you have to copy from.

Hi Rachel —

Thanks for making time today. I'll send the updated numbers for the Ferndale listing before end of day, and I'll loop in Priya from ops so she has context ahead of Tuesday.

Best,
Chris
Flows & Prompt Builder

Save a Flow. Trigger it by voice.

Build a Prompt once — with your own instructions, your own placeholders, and the model you prefer — then run it by saying its name. Per-app rules pick the right mode automatically, and oravo:// links let other tools drive Oravo directly.

Learns your words

The names you use, spelled the way you use them.

Oravo picks up your vocabulary as you go — names, phrases, terminology, and the patterns in how you write. Correct a word once and it stays corrected, in every app, from then on. Connect Anthropic or OpenAI and it adapts faster still, with more intelligent corrections.

Ask AI · optional

Ask a question. Get an answer. Never leave your app.

Hold ⌥ A, ask out loud, and the answer arrives in a card right where you're working — with live web search when the question needs something current. Connect Anthropic or OpenAI to turn it on.

“What's the going rate for a senior iOS contractor in the Bay Area right now?”

Current market rates run roughly $110–$165 per hour, with most senior contracts landing near $130. Rates skew higher for short engagements and lower for six-month-plus commitments.

Privacy

Privacy built into how Oravo works

Your data stays on your Mac whenever you're using features designed for local processing. Oravo performs supported transcription and processing directly on your device whenever the selected feature operates locally.

When you choose a feature that uses an external AI or other third-party provider, information needed to complete your request — which for Oravo's current AI features means the transcribed text and prompt, not your recording — may be transmitted to the provider you select. Oravo only connects to external AI providers when required by the features and providers you choose to use. Third-party services process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Local when possible. Connected when you choose. Transparent either way. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

“Wait — I pay for Pro and an AI provider?”

Yes, and it's deliberate. Here's the trade you're making.

You pay the AI at cost

Apps that bundle AI have to charge for the heaviest users, so everyone pays that average. You pay your provider's published rate for exactly what you use — and you can see the bill.

Your words don't touch our servers

Your key means the request goes straight from your Mac to the provider. We have no servers in the path, so there's nothing for us to log, leak, or be asked to hand over.

No caps, and a free option

No word limits or throttling at the end of the month. Prefer to spend nothing at all? Point Oravo at Ollama and the AI runs on your Mac, free and offline.

Dictation itself is free forever and never needs a key — Pro and an AI key only matter for the AI features.
