AI speech-to-text app, $12K MRR: write by voice across devices
Voicy is speech-to-text software for writing by voice across computers and phones. Its $12K MRR is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.
What it actually sells
Voicy is an independent speech-to-text app that helps people write with their voice across computers and phones. It is AI-powered software for dictation across more than 50 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin.
The site positions Voicy for the everyday user and says Kourosh Ghaffari built it for his dad, who struggled to type efficiently. Voicy works in apps and websites where users already write and automatically adds punctuation to dictated text.
How it charges
The Pro plan is $8.49/month on annual billing with 20% off. The Lifetime plan is a one-time payment of $260. The Team plan is $6.79/user/mo with a minimum of 3 users.

Where it sits in the data
Voicy's $12K MRR is higher than 94% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Productivity” category (1,856 projects) it is higher than 97% (category median $102). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer is an everyday user who wants to write by voice across computers and phones, including people who find typing inefficient. Distribution would come from SEO, YouTube, operating-system guides, app-directory pages, and support pages for the writing tools people already use.
The difficult parts are speech-to-text accuracy across languages, reliable punctuation, device support across desktop, mobile, and Chrome, and handling local transcript storage. A new product would also face support load, privacy expectations, competition, and the work required to earn trust from everyday users.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
Voicy presents a clear product shape: speech-to-text that works across computers and phones, operates in the apps and websites where people already write, adds punctuation automatically, and stores transcripts locally. Its pricing includes a Pro subscription, a Lifetime payment, and a Team plan.
