Every feature in the Mac app, plus 3,000 text units that refresh every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Latin letters and punctuation use one unit, CJK characters use two, and whitespace does not count. No card is required to download and start.
It is a one-time CNY 9.90 payment for 30,000 usage units, not a subscription. Purchased units are used first and do not expire.
Unlimited removes the weekly quota for as long as your paid access is active. Choose Monthly or Yearly, then select an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time payment. The app and features are the same.
Subscriptions are $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year. One-time Monthly and Yearly options are also available, and checkout shows the exact price before you pay.
Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled anytime from your account; access remains until the paid period ends. A one-time payment does not renew, so there is nothing to cancel.
No. Every capability in the app is available on the free plan. Paid plans change how much you can dictate, not which features you can use.
Openbroca is available for macOS 15 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. A native Windows app is planned; you can join the waitlist for updates.
You need macOS 15 or later and an internet connection. Microphone access captures speech, Accessibility allows text insertion, and Screen Recording is only needed for optional Screen Context.
