Designed for focused, everyday writing

Velox AI Input is built for people who write all day in chats, documents, terminals, and emails – and prefer a simple, reliable voice input tool that stays out of the way.

Hold to speak, release to paste

Start recording by holding the Option (⌥) key. Release to stop, transcribe, gently refine, and paste into the active app using a small floating panel.

Light correction, not over‑writing

Velox AI Input turns speech into clear sentences with proper punctuation and basic grammar fixes, while preserving your intent and writing style.

Clipboard protection built‑in

Before pasting, Velox stores your clipboard (including text, images, and files) and restores it automatically afterward, so you never lose what you copied.

Smart focus awareness

If you switch apps while Velox is processing, it will safely cache the result instead of pasting into the wrong window. You can then copy it from the panel when you are ready.

Your own API keys and endpoints

Velox connects to Whisper‑compatible STT providers that you configure yourself (including local instances). No proprietary servers or hidden relays.

Internationalized interface

The interface is fully localized in English and Simplified Chinese, with a clear restart reminder when you change the language.

How Velox fits into your writing flow

Velox AI Input is intentionally simple: a single hotkey, a small HUD, and a short path from speech to text. No timelines, no chat threads, no extra dashboards.

Press and hold Option (⌥)

The floating panel appears near the bottom of your screen and starts recording from your microphone. You can place the panel anywhere; its position is remembered across sessions.

Speak naturally, then release

When you release Option, Velox stops recording, converts your speech to text, removes obvious artifacts, and applies light rewriting for clarity and punctuation.

Velox pastes or safely caches the result

If the focus has not changed, Velox pastes into the active app and restores your clipboard. If focus changed, it keeps the text in a small HUD where you can copy it manually.

Press ESC at any time during processing to cancel the current run.

Simple, transparent pricing

Velox AI Input is a one‑time purchase with a built‑in trial. You stay in control of any additional usage‑based costs from your chosen speech and text providers.

System requirements

macOS 14.6 (Sonoma) or later

Microphone access

Accessibility permission for paste automation

Recommended setup

Stable internet connection (for cloud providers)

API key from a Whisper‑compatible STT service

8 GB RAM or more for heavier workloads

Velox does not bundle or resell any third‑party speech or text services. You bring your own API keys and can choose whether those services are cloud‑based or self‑hosted.

Privacy & data use

Velox AI Input is designed to keep your data local whenever possible and to make external network calls only to the services you explicitly configure.

On‑device behavior

Audio is kept temporary

Your microphone input is recorded into a temporary file inside the macOS sandbox and deleted after each run, whether it completes or is cancelled.

Credentials

API keys stored in Keychain

Any API keys you enter for speech or text providers are stored securely in the macOS Keychain and are never synced to external servers.

Context

Limited app context, no content

When processing a run, Velox may read metadata such as the frontmost app name, bundle ID, and window title to adjust its behavior. It does not read or store the text content of your windows.

History

Short, local history only

For convenience, Velox keeps a small, rotating history of recent runs in local storage. This history stays on your device and is not uploaded.

Support & frequently asked questions

This page is intended for App Review and future customers. If you have additional questions, you can always reach out.

Who develops Velox AI Input?

Velox AI Input is developed and maintained by Wuhu Manxiu Technology Co., Ltd. The company is responsible for support, maintenance, and future updates.

How do I contact support?

For support, feedback, or data‑related questions, please email [email protected]. We typically respond within a few business days.

Does Velox work without an internet connection?

Velox itself is a native macOS app. Speech and text processing require the third‑party providers you configure (for example, Groq or a local server). If you use a local, self‑hosted provider, Velox can function entirely on your own network.

What permissions does Velox request?

Velox requests microphone access for recording and Accessibility access to simulate the standard paste shortcut (⌘V). It does not request broad file system access or access to your photos, contacts, or calendars.

How can I cancel or delete my data?

Velox does not maintain user accounts or store data on external servers. To clear local history and configuration on your Mac, you can remove the Velox app and its preferences. Any data held by your chosen API provider is subject to that provider’s own policies.
