Verby was built to make voice the fastest way to interact with any app on your desktop. No menus, no switching windows, no clipboard gymnastics. Just hold a key, speak, and the text appears where your cursor is.
Verby is built by Syntrix LLC, an indie software studio founded by Stephen Grandy. Syntrix focuses on AI-powered productivity tools that solve real problems without unnecessary complexity. Verby is its flagship product.
The idea for Verby came from a simple frustration: voice is the fastest input method humans have. We speak roughly 150 words per minute but type only 40–80. Despite that, every voice dictation tool Stephen tried was either too slow, too inaccurate, locked inside a single app, or priced for enterprise budgets. None of them worked the way you actually use a computer — jumping between email, code editors, chat apps, and browsers dozens of times a day.
Stephen wanted something that sat at the system level, stayed out of the way, and just worked. Press a key, talk, and clean text appears wherever the cursor is. No dedicated dictation window. No copy-paste step. No per-app plugins. When nothing on the market did that reliably, he built it himself.
Verby launched on Mac and later expanded to Windows. It is actively developed as a solo product by Stephen, with a focus on speed, privacy, and doing one thing extremely well.
The goal behind Verby is straightforward: make voice the primary input method for desktop computing. Keyboards are not going away, but for the majority of text you produce in a day — emails, messages, notes, prompts, comments — speaking is faster and easier than typing.
Most people already dictate on their phones. Verby brings that same speed to the desktop, with the accuracy and formatting polish that a professional workflow demands. Every feature decision comes back to one question: does this make voice input faster, cleaner, or more useful in everyday work?
Verby is an AI voice-to-text application for Mac and Windows. It uses OpenAI Whisper for transcription — the same model used by professional transcription services — and enhances the raw output with AI to fix grammar, remove filler words, and format the text for its destination. The finished text is injected directly at your cursor through system-wide text injection, so it works in any application: browsers, email clients, code editors, Slack, Discord, Notion, and everything else.
People use Verby to write emails, craft AI prompts, reply to comments on Reddit and social media, take notes, and dictate clean text into any input field. It runs as a lightweight system tray app and activates with a single hotkey. There are six AI-powered modes that adapt the output to different contexts, from casual messages to professional writing.
Verby offers a free tier with 20 dictations per day — enough for most casual users. The Pro plan removes that limit and unlocks additional features for power users who rely on voice throughout their workday. No trial period, no feature gates on the free tier. You get the full Verby experience from day one.
Verby is under active development. Here is where things stand:
