Your voice arrives as a real microphone, ready for any agent or app.

“Find the issue, fix it, and run the tests.”
A microphone, without the microphone.
Voice travels from the remote to your Mac in memory. When you stop speaking, it stops listening.
Make every button yours.
PRESS SIRISpeak naturally to your active agent.
Advanced by design.
VoiceBaton joins hardware, private audio, local AI, and context-aware Mac control in one native menu-bar app.
Hold Siri and VoiceBaton Microphone appears system-wide — private, memory-only, 48 kHz mono audio that works anywhere a normal input does.
Run Parakeet TDT v3, Apple Speech, or a full catalog of Whisper models. Automatic mode chooses from the engines already ready on your Mac.
Use the remote or your preferred Mac input with global hold-to-talk and start/stop shortcuts, rolling local previews, transcript history, and automatic insertion.
The clickpad can move the active ChatGPT or Codex conversation wherever the cursor is, pixel-scroll any app, drive the pointer, or select accessible controls.
Profiles switch automatically for ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, or any app you add. Every physical button can carry shortcuts, app focus, double taps, and precise modifier sides.
See signal, elapsed time, the Siri Remote’s one-minute boundary, and the final countdown. VoiceBaton makes it clear when your microphone is live and when it is not.
Press to give an always-listening AI your attention, speak, then release to stop. It is a clear physical start and end for Voice mode and every other conversation.
VoiceBaton processes audio and transcripts on your Mac. Optional local history adds waveforms, playback, export, and retention controls without a required cloud account.
VoiceBaton can return the Mac’s default input to a physical microphone when it quits, then reclaim it at launch only under the policy you choose.
New Voice mode compatible.
Use ChatGPT’s new Voice mode with your normal Mac microphone and keep VoiceBaton in hand for physical control. The Siri Remote (3rd generation) stops sending microphone audio after about one minute, so your regular mic is the better choice for long conversations.
Private by design.
VoiceBaton processes audio and transcripts locally on your Mac. Recording history stays off until you choose otherwise.
More is coming.
