Google, Microsoft, and others send your audio to their cloud. Every word you dictate is stored, analyzed, and potentially used for training.
Medical notes, legal documents, financial data, passwords spoken aloud - all sent through the internet to someone else's computer.
No connection? No dictation. Cloud services fail when you need them most - offline, on planes, or in areas with poor connectivity.
Powered by OpenAI's Whisper AI running 100% locally on your machine. State-of-the-art transcription accuracy without sacrificing your privacy.
Powerful dictation software that respects your privacy and your workflow.

Global hotkey works in any Windows app - email, Word, browser, code editors, Slack, anywhere you type.
From English to Mandarin, Portuguese to Japanese, Arabic to Hindi. Speak in your native language, anywhere.
NVIDIA CUDA support for lightning-fast transcription. Up to 10x faster than CPU-only processing.
Start with 7 free transcriptions per day. Upgrade anytime for unlimited access.
Tiny indicator stays out of your way. Just hold a key, speak, release. Text appears instantly.
Download the installer, run the 5-minute setup wizard to download the AI model. One-time setup, then you're ready.
