Works with every app

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Local-only processing

Privacy First

Whisper runs entirely on your device — bundled in the app, no setup required. No cloud, no data collection, no account. Your voice never leaves your machine.

Universal input

Works Everywhere

Types directly into any app with focus — email, Slack, VS Code, browser. No plugins required.

Voice-driven editing

AI Transform

Select text, press Ctrl+I, speak: rewrite, summarize, translate, fix grammar. AI transforms in-place — available with Pro.

Global support

15+ Languages

English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, Spanish, French, German, and more. Whisper handles them natively — available with Pro.

Hands-free

Wake Word

Say "Hey Talky" to activate — no hotkey needed. Powered by Picovoice Porcupine.

Customizable

Custom Templates

Create reusable prompt templates for your common transforms — emails, code reviews, translations.

Searchable

History & Search

Every transcription is saved locally. Search, copy, or re-use any past dictation instantly. Available with Pro.

Contextual AI

Multi-turn Conversation

AI remembers up to 5 turns of context. Iterate on transforms without repeating yourself — "make it shorter", "now more formal".
