Dictate Raycast AI prompts and quick notes
Raycast is the premier command center on Mac. Pair it with Valcy to dictate AI prompts, search queries, and scratchpad notes without typing by hand.
Why manual typing in Raycast slows you down
Using Raycast AI to draft emails, explain code, or research topics still requires typing out long prompts. Typing lengthy queries inside a launcher window slows you down.
Speak naturally at your normal conversational pace
With Valcy, trigger Raycast, hit your dictation shortcut, and speak your query. Valcy inserts your prompt into Raycast's input bar so you get answers in seconds.
Compare spoken input to final text in Raycast
Valcy automatically filters out verbal hesitations, corrects punctuation, and formats sentences clearly.

Common Questions About Using Valcy with Raycast
Can I use Valcy alongside Raycast shortcuts?
Yes. Valcy lets you choose any shortcut (such as double-tap Option or Fn), preventing any conflict with Raycast's launch shortcuts.
Does Valcy work in Raycast AI chat and Floating Notes?
Yes. Valcy works anywhere macOS accepts text input, including Raycast AI chat, Floating Notes, script inputs, and search fields.
Does it run completely on my Mac?
Yes. In Local Mode, Valcy uses offline Whisper models running on Apple Silicon Metal GPU. No data leaves your machine.
Why not use native macOS dictation in Raycast?
Native macOS dictation often introduces lag, stops recording unexpectedly, and makes errors with technical terms. Valcy is built for speed, continuous capture, and higher accuracy.
