100% Private - Your Data Never Leaves Your Mac

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Apple Silicon only?
Running AI models locally requires significant compute power. Apple Silicon's Neural Engine and Metal GPU provide the performance needed for real-time speech recognition, text-to-speech, and voice cloning without draining your battery. Intel Macs can use our Chrome Extension version instead.
Can I use it offline?
Yes! After the initial download of AI models, everything works completely offline. Your voice is processed locally on your device with no internet required.
How does the refund work?
We offer a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, simply email support@freevoicereader.com within 30 days and we'll process your refund immediately.
How many Macs can I use it on?
Your license allows installation on up to 3 personal Macs that you own or control. This is a lifetime license with no recurring fees and includes all future updates.
What about Intel Macs?
Intel Macs don't have the Neural Engine required for optimal AI performance. However, you can use our Chrome Extension version which runs AI models via WebGPU in Chrome. Check the "Chrome Extension" tab for details.
