Speak Freely – Encrypted Voice Arrives in Maple
What if you could talk to AI as naturally as you talk to a colleague—with the same ironclad privacy Maple delivers? Starting today, you can. We're thrilled to announce Maple Voice, and yes—we're using it right now to craft this post. No typing. No keyboard. Just secure conversation.
Talk to Maple, it talks back (politely, if you want)
Voice Meets Privacy, Without Compromise
Voice is human. It's fast, intuitive, and liberating. But traditional voice AI has a dirty secret: your conversations become training data. With Maple Voice, we’ve applied our privacy-first architecture to voice interactions, ensuring:
- Your words stay yours
- Audio is encrypted before leaving your device
- Processing happens in secure enclaves
- Zero data retention or training use
How It Works (4 Simple Steps)
- Tap the 🎤 icon in any Maple chat
- Speak naturally—questions, ideas, even complex requests
- Hit "Send" when finished
- Hear Maple respond in a clear, natural voice while reading the text
Behind the scenes
- Speech-to-text: Converts your audio using Whisper (OpenAI’s open-source speech recognition) in a secure enclave
- Private processing: Your chosen AI model handles the request (DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, Qwen3Coder, and all others supported)
- Voice response: Maple replies with text + natural speech using Kokoro text-to-speech in a secure enclave
Experience the Difference
- True conversation: Maple speaks responses aloud while displaying text
- Universal compatibility: Works with every AI model in Maple—perfect for coders vibe-checking ideas
- Professional fluidity: Ideal for therapists dictating notes mid-walk or lawyers brainstorming between meetings
- Zero audio footprint: We never store your voice clips or use them for training
Unlock Voice in Maple
Maple Voice is available immediately for all Maple Pro, Team, and Max subscribers. This addition extends our commitment to private, versatile AI tools for individuals and professionals. Proxy users, coming soon.

Real-World Magic
- "Maple, optimize this Python function for readability" (while pacing during a coding break)
- "Draft a client update about the merger terms" (on a walk outside between meetings)
- "Help me unpack today’s difficult session" (therapists maintaining confidentiality)
Try It Today
Tap the microphone icon in Maple on web, desktop, or iOS (Pro+ required). Finally—an AI that listens and protects.
Voice shouldn't mean surrendering privacy. With this release, we're proving you can have both: the convenience of spoken AI and the security Maple delivers. Your voice is yours—not a data point to be mined and sold.
Your secrets were always safe in Maple. Now they can be spoken.
Keep chatting.
