About
A Belgian developer who got tired of Silicon Valley listening in.
Tim Pieters·Brussels, 2026
I write code for a living and I dictate everything. Slack messages, client emails, commit summaries, late-night notes to myself. For a year I used Wispr Flow and was perfectly happy. Then one afternoon I read their architecture page and realised my client conversations were round-tripping through Silicon Valley, getting touched by US AI subprocessors, and being subject to US legal compulsion.
For a Belgian developer working with European clients, that is simply not a thing you keep doing. So I sat down to find an EU-native equivalent. There wasn't one.
Voxa is what I built instead. Same hold-to-speak workflow, same polish, different architecture. Voxtral and Mistral, both EU-hosted. Frankfurt for the API. Stripe EU for billing. Audio never persisted. Transcripts never retained. The privacy claim is verifiable in code, not in a marketing footer.
It is built for the people who handle other people's data. Lawyers, doctors, consultants, devs, anyone who would rather not narrate their client calls into a US-hosted API. If that is you, we should probably talk.
Why Brussels
Built in the city where European decisions are made.
Voxa is registered in Belgium and operated from Brussels. The API runs in Frankfurt. Models run on Mistral's EU endpoints. Every architectural decision passes through one filter first: does this keep European data on European infrastructure.
