Frequently Asked Questions About Velo
Traditional tools lock you into their predefined ecosystem. Velo is built on a modular architecture. We provide an ultra-fast, privacy-first transcription layer, while you retain absolute control over AI formatting, custom prompts, and API providers. We don't make decisions for you.
Absolutely. The engine flawlessly transcribes over 100 global languages. You can rapidly dictate in your native tongue directly into any application on your system.
Yes! Our app supports local, offline models for dictation. You can work privately on a plane or in a coffee shop without needing Wi-Fi.
Currently, Velo is precision-engineered exclusively for macOS, allowing us to leverage Apple Silicon for zero-latency, on-device processing. However, we are already actively developing native versions for Windows, Linux and Mobile devices. Stay tuned as we expand our ecosystem.
To save you money. Most AI apps charge you $20/month for 'unlimited' credits you never use. By connecting your own key (from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), you pay wholesale prices—often pennies per month—and own your data completely. No middleman markup.
Just highlight any text in any app (email, browser, code editor). Double-tap your chosen shortcut key, and our AI instantly processes it based on your custom prompt—no copy-pasting or window switching required.
It takes about 60 seconds. We provide direct links to the API consoles and a simple video guide. Just copy the key, paste it into the app, and you're ready.
Our users typically reclaim upwards of 20 hours per month. If your workflow requires 2-4 hours of typing daily, Velo dramatically compresses that output into 30-60 minutes. It reclaims hours of your day, every day.
Yes. We never store or read your dictations or text. When you use local models (like Whisper), everything stays on your Mac. When you use cloud APIs, you connect directly to providers like OpenAI—we are not in the middle.
