What is 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.
