Willow Voice guides: every page on this site about Willow Voice, by topic

By · Published

This is an index of the 12 pages on this site about Willow Voice, grouped by what you are trying to do: get started, change a setting, fix a problem, understand the price, or compare it with something else. It is not Willow Voice's official documentation, which is at help.willowvoice.com.

I built YapToText, a different dictation app for the Mac, so read what I say about Willow Voice with that in mind. Every fact on these pages comes from Willow Voice's own site, with the date it was read.

How these pages are made

Each page takes its facts from Willow Voice's own pages, names the article it came from, and gives the date I read it. When Willow Voice changes something, the page can be wrong until I catch it, so the date matters. The official source is Willow Voice's own help center, and that is the place to check anything that affects money or data.

I built YapToText, a free dictation app for Apple silicon Macs, which makes me a rival, and each page says so. The comparison page sets the apps side by side.
