Press a hotkey from any application, say what you're thinking, and the text appears at your cursor. That's it. Works offline or with cloud APIs.
Run everything on your hardware for maximum privacy, or tap into cloud APIs when you need the highest accuracy.
Powered by faster-whisper, running entirely on your hardware. Download a model once, then transcribe forever with zero internet.
Send audio to OpenAI Whisper or Google Gemini for top-tier accuracy. Only triggered when you press the hotkey.
A polished interface for managing your settings, history, and transcription preferences.
Idle — sits quietly at the bottom of your screen
Hover — shows your hotkey and how to start dictating
Recording — live audio visualization with cancel and stop
Built for speed and simplicity. No bloat, no setup wizards, no accounts.
Email, Slack, your IDE, Google Docs, a terminal — one global hotkey triggers recording wherever you are. No plugins needed.
Local mode processes audio entirely on your hardware using faster-whisper. No cloud, no network, no exceptions.
Text is transcribed and pasted at your cursor automatically. No copy button, no extra window. Talk, stop, done.
Supports every language Whisper handles, with automatic detection. Switch languages in the tray menu or let it detect.
Every transcription is saved with the original audio recording. Search your history and play back what you said.
Lives in the system tray. A tiny floating pill appears only while recording, with audio bars, cancel, and stop controls.
