VoiceInk Black Friday 2026 deal

What does it do?

From any Mac app, start recording with your chosen shortcut, speak, and the finished text is pasted at the cursor. You can run transcription on the Mac itself with a model you download, so the recording does not need a network connection. A personal dictionary keeps unusual names and spellings in place, and saved replacements can turn a short spoken cue into a longer standard phrase. Optional enhancement can strip filler, turn a spoken update into a structured note, or rewrite a selected passage in place. VoiceInk for iPhone and iPad is a separate beta app with its own license.

Who is it for?

People who write a lot on a Mac and would rather speak drafts, emails, or AI prompts than type them, especially if they want the recording processed on the computer rather than a hosted service.

When would you use it?

• Dictating a client email: Add the client's unusual surname to the dictionary first, then speak the message in Mail so the name is spelled the way they expect.
• Dropping a booking link into chat: Say your saved short phrase for the meeting URL, and the replacement pastes the exact link instead of a fuzzy transcription of the address.
• Tidying a messy paragraph: Select a rough passage in your draft, say how you want it changed, and VoiceInk replaces that selection with a clearer version in the same document.

Why pay for it?

You are paying once for dictation that can stay on your Mac, including later updates, instead of a monthly voice-typing subscription. The keyboard shortcut keeps you in the app where the words need to go, and the dictionary plus saved replacements exist so names and standard phrases come out correctly the first time. Cleanup is optional: local transcription can work on its own, and enhancement or VoiceInk Refine can be added when a draft needs tidying. Regular Solo, Personal, Extended, and Startup licenses are $25, $39, $49, and $159, covering one, two, three, or ten Macs. A seven-day trial is available, and purchases have a 14-day refund.

What should you know?

• A Black Friday discount of 40 percent applies to the Mac app when you enter BFVI2640 on the Polar checkout page. The official sale-page countdown reaches zero at the last minute of December 5, 2026, Pacific Time. Regular plan prices remain on the pricing page; discounted totals are not written there.
• The Mac app requires Apple silicon and macOS 14.4 or later, with 8 GB of RAM recommended. A Mac license does not activate the iPhone app, which is free during its beta.
• Transcription can run locally. Optional cloud enhancement sends the already transcribed text, not the recording, and can be left off.
