Make input available in more moments

Voice input can help when pain, fatigue, or mobility limits make long keyboard sessions difficult. VoiceSlip works in the apps you already use instead of creating another isolated workspace.

Choose push-to-talk or toggle mode

Short bursts are easier with push-to-talk. Longer drafting sessions may suit toggle mode. Both keep activation predictable and visible.

Privacy is part of accessibility

Voice notes can contain personal or sensitive information. On-device processing and offline operation keep that input closer to the person creating it.
