Write clear, thoughtful emails in Apple Mail with your voice
Draft long replies, client updates, and tricky messages without typing strain. Valcy turns your spoken words into clean, natural paragraphs right inside Apple Mail.
Why manual typing in Apple Mail slows you down
Managing an overflowing inbox is draining. Typing dozens of formal replies, status updates, and introductions every day leaves your fingers tired and pulls you away from higher-priority work.
Speak naturally at your normal conversational pace
Talking through your thoughts is much faster than typing them out. Valcy removes verbal stumbles, formats natural sentences with commas and periods, and drops the finished text right into your email draft. And because it runs locally on your Mac, your confidential correspondence never leaves your computer.
Compare spoken input to final text in Apple Mail
Valcy automatically filters out verbal hesitations, corrects punctuation, and formats sentences clearly.

Key Advantages for Apple Mail Users
Total Privacy for Confidential Mail
Business emails often contain sensitive financials, contracts, and private conversations. In Local Mode, voice processing runs entirely on your Mac's Apple Silicon chip. No audio or text ever leaves your machine.
Punctuation That Just Works
You never have to say 'comma', 'period', or 'new paragraph' out loud. Just talk like you are speaking to a coworker, and Valcy handles the punctuation and spacing naturally.
Works on Planes and Offline
Draft email replies on flights or in cafes with spotty Wi-Fi. When you get back online, your drafts are already typed, formatted, and ready to send.
Quick Setup (Under 1 Minute)
Valcy runs as a native macOS utility and requires no custom Apple Mail extensions.
Open Apple Mail
Click into any email draft, new compose window, or reply thread.
Press Your Shortcut
Tap your preferred hotkey (such as double-tapping Option).
Speak Your Draft
Dictate your reply naturally. Valcy formats your sentences and places them directly into the email body.
Common Questions About Using Valcy with Apple Mail
Does Valcy send the email for me?
No. Valcy only types the text into your email body. You always have full control to read over your draft and press Send when you are ready.
Can Valcy read my other emails in Apple Mail?
No. Valcy only types at your active cursor position. It has no access to your inbox, email archives, contacts, or drafts.
Why use Valcy instead of Apple's built-in Mac dictation?
Apple's built-in dictation often cuts off after a few seconds, requires you to speak punctuation words out loud ('period', 'comma'), and struggles with natural conversational cadence. Valcy listens continuously and formats readable paragraphs automatically.
Can I use Valcy when my Mac is completely offline?
Yes. In Local Mode, transcription runs directly on your Mac using Apple Silicon hardware acceleration. You can clear your entire inbox while sitting on an airplane with Wi-Fi turned off.
