# Viora > Viora is a cloud-assisted voice AI assistant for macOS. Hold one shortcut and speak to write in the current app, edit selected text, ask about context, or run supported agent tasks. Viora replaces parts of typing, rewriting, context lookup, and small task routing with speech. It inserts ready-to-review text directly where you are working - chat apps, email clients, IDEs, docs, and forms - without copy-paste. Voice and AI cleanup happen on demand from a global hotkey, so the editing surface is usually the app you are already in. ## Key facts - Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). A Windows build is not yet available. - Activation: global keyboard shortcut, no separate window required. - Output: punctuated, capitalized, formatted text, selected-text edits, contextual answers, or supported agent-task results. - Languages: 100+ languages for speech recognition, with English and Chinese first-class and automatic Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Cantonese routing. - Pricing: free tier plus paid plans. See the pricing page below. - Processing model: cloud-assisted. Viora is not offline-only or local-only. ## Core pages - [Home](https://viora.io/): product overview and download entry point - [Pricing](https://viora.io/pricing): plans, limits, and what each tier includes - [Download](https://viora.io/download): macOS installers and release channels - [Changelog](https://viora.io/changelog): version-by-version history of shipped changes - [What is Viora?](https://viora.io/blog/what-is-viora): main product overview, audience fit, Mac support, cloud-assisted boundary, and public product limitations - [Is Viora offline?](https://viora.io/blog/is-viora-offline): privacy and processing boundary page for offline, local-only, Privacy Mode, and cloud-assisted questions - [Contact](https://viora.io/contact): support, corrections, partnerships, and product feedback - [Resources](https://viora.io/resources): published comparison guides ## Guides and comparisons - [What is Viora?](https://viora.io/blog/what-is-viora): direct entity definition for brand searches such as viora, viora ai, and viora app download - [Is Viora offline?](https://viora.io/blog/is-viora-offline): direct answer for privacy and offline processing queries; Viora is cloud-assisted, not fully offline or local-only - [Mac dictation guide](https://viora.io/blog/mac-dictation-guide): how macOS dictation works, where built-in dictation is enough, and how third-party Mac dictation apps compare - [Voice AI assistant vs dictation software](https://viora.io/blog/voice-ai-assistant-vs-dictation-software): explains the difference between speech-to-text tools and voice AI assistants that can write, edit, answer, and run tasks - [Viora vs Wispr Flow](https://viora.io/compare/wispr-flow-alternative): platform, pricing, privacy, and team workflow comparison - [Viora vs Superwhisper](https://viora.io/compare/superwhisper-alternative): offline support, model control, pricing, and Mac workflow comparison - [Viora vs Siri](https://viora.io/compare/viora-vs-siri): Mac write, edit, ask, and do workflows versus Apple Siri - [Viora vs VoiceOS](https://viora.io/compare/voiceos-alternative): Mac-first personal voice agent versus VoiceOS on Mac and Windows ## Legal - [Privacy](https://viora.io/privacy) - [Terms](https://viora.io/terms) - [Cookie policy](https://viora.io/cookie) ## Localization Viora's public marketing site currently uses English as the default language.
