Built for how you think

No subscriptions. No account. No friction. Hold, speak, release.

Instant, zero setup

Uses Apple's built-in Speech framework. Works the moment you install it — no API keys, no configuration.

Local AI accuracy

WhisperKit runs entirely on your device via Core ML. As low as ~1% word error rate with the Turbo model. 100% private — no audio leaves your Mac.

Privacy first

Audio is never stored on disk. Local engines stay off the network entirely. You choose exactly where your voice goes.

Multi-language

Auto-detect or choose from 12 built-in languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more.

Your level of control

From instant built-in to cloud-grade. Start where you are, upgrade when you want.
