Verba

Verba — developer-grade voice dictation, everywhere you type.

Visual Studio Marketplace Installs License: MIT Platform macOS app: Beta

Speak instead of type. Verba records your voice, transcribes it with Deepgram Nova-3, and refines it with Claude — system-wide across macOS (Beta) or deep inside VS Code. Bring your own keys, keep your data.

Verba Dictation Workflow

Why Verba

  • Bring Your Own Key — your own Deepgram + Anthropic keys; no subscription.
  • Privacy & data control — keys in the OS keystore; optional fully offline transcription (whisper.cpp); your audio/text is never routed through us.
  • Developer- & code-aware — code-aware templates, Claude Code prompt generation, commit messages, JavaDoc, deep VS Code integration.
  • Everywhere — the same dictation intelligence in your editor and across your whole Mac.

Two Surfaces
