TypeWhisper

Private speech-to-text for your Mac with system-wide dictation, file transcription, prompts, profiles, history, dictionary, and snippets.

• Private by default: Run speech-to-text locally on your Mac with no telemetry, no subscriptions, and no mandatory cloud dependency.
• System-wide dictation: Use a global hotkey to dictate into any app, with fast insertion and configurable behavior.
• Prompts and automation: Process text with built-in prompt actions, then go deeper with the local API, CLI, and plugins as advanced surfaces.
• Profiles, history, dictionary: Keep app-aware settings, searchable history, correction rules, and snippets in one place.
• File transcription: Drop in audio or video files, batch transcribe them, and export subtitles with timestamps.

Why not just use built-in dictation?

• Per-app profiles: Automatically switch language, engine, and behavior per app or website.
• Six speech engines: Pick the right engine for speed, accuracy, or language support.
• Audio and video files: Transcribe full files with drag and drop. Export subtitles as SRT or WebVTT.
• History and automation: Searchable transcription history and a local HTTP API for workflows.
