Voice-powered intent recovery for macOS

Built for bilingual Mac users.

Recover what you meant to write — fix keyboard mistakes, correct spelling, and switch languages with a single voice command.

Looking for early Mac users and feedback.

Download the DMG, drag BabelKey into Applications, then launch the app.

Stop Retyping Everything

We've all typed in the wrong layout, misspelled a word, or needed text in a different language. Instead of retyping, BabelKey recovers what you intended — select the text, double-press Control, and say the outcome you want.

  • Fix keyboard layout mistakes with a voice command.
  • Correct spelling locally without sending text anywhere.
  • Switch the language of selected text with a voice command.
  • Works across macOS apps.

Magic in Three Steps

Voice-controlled, local, and built for multilingual workflows.

1. Select Text

Highlight any text you want to recover — whether it's a layout mistake, a spelling error, or both.

2. Double-Press Control

Start Voice Mode with a quick double-press of the Control key.

3. Say the Command

Say “Fix” to recover your text in the same language, or “Fix to [language]” to switch. BabelKey handles the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does BabelKey monitor what I type?

No. BabelKey does not monitor your keyboard. It only reads selected text after you explicitly trigger it. Voice commands are used only after you double-press Control.

Which languages are supported?

BabelKey recovers text across multiple keyboard layouts and languages. Supported operations include keyboard layout correction, spelling fix, and language switching — all triggered by a single voice command.

Does BabelKey work offline?

BabelKey uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to capture voice commands. Some recovery features rely on AI services and require an internet connection. BabelKey does not monitor your activity or process anything in the background.
