Versions:
VOCIX (Voice Capture & Intelligent eXpression) is a local voice dictation application for Windows 11, published by RTF22 and currently available in version 1.5.1, with four versions released to date. Its purpose is to let users capture speech anywhere in the operating system, transcribe it offline, and insert the resulting text system-wide at the cursor position in any application. Activation works through a global push-to-talk hotkey bound to the Pause key, which carries no standard binding in Windows, browsers, Office, or IDEs and is therefore safe to use in virtually any environment. Transcription is handled locally by faster-whisper, an implementation of the Whisper speech-to-text model, so no audio leaves the machine during that step. Users can then optionally transform the transcript via a large language model, with three selectable modes—Clean, Business, and Rage—and a multi-provider architecture that supports Anthropic Claude, any OpenAI-compatible API, or local Ollama models, with a provider chosen per mode. This makes the software relevant to categories such as speech-to-text dictation, AI-assisted text processing, and desktop productivity utilities. Typical use cases include hands-free drafting of emails and documents, converting spoken notes into polished business language, and multilingual workflows, since the application offers optional offline translation into English from any Whisper-supported source language. Additional features include an in-app settings dialog, a system tray with a colour-coded microphone icon indicating status, a bilingual user interface in German and English, and an RDP mode for use in remote desktop sessions. The application is fully portable and requires no Python installation, which simplifies deployment on workstations without administrative setup. Overall, VOCIX combines offline speech recognition with flexible LLM post-processing in a single lightweight Windows tool aimed at users who want dictation and text transformation without relying on a fixed cloud provider.
