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.

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.

Multi-language

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