Built for people who ship.

Developers, writers, and professionals who value speed and privacy.

Dictation is quietly broken.

Cloud audio. Monthly rent. Typing bottlenecks.

Cloud audio

Your raw voice should not leave your machine just to become text.

Monthly rent

Dictation should be a tool you own, not another subscription.

Typing bottlenecks

Speak messy prompts, notes, and bugs. Clean them up where you already work.

Speak instead of typing. Keep raw audio local, paste anywhere, and skip the subscription.

Custom Dictionary

Add names, technical terms, and jargon so PrivateTranscribe can nudge Whisper toward the words you actually use.

Local History

All transcriptions saved locally in SQLite. Search and retrieve past dictations instantly.

99 Languages

Whisper can auto-detect 99 languages and optionally translate supported speech to English.

AI Enhancement

Optionally clean up transcriptions with AI - fix grammar, format for email, or restructure for clarity. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, or local models.

PrivateTranscribe Pro

For people who dictate
all day.

Free covers the core: press a hotkey, speak, paste text. Pro adds cleanup, corrections, and context features for heavier users.

AI Enhancement

Polish transcriptions after capture - fix grammar, format for email, or restructure for clarity. Use local models or your configured OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Groq provider.

Pro feature

Voice Assistant

Create reusable AI instructions for cleanup, formatting, and tone so dictated text fits the place you paste it.

Pro feature

Correction Memory

PrivateTranscribe learns from your edits. Misheard the same word twice? It auto-corrects from the third time onward.

Pro feature

Smart Context

Uses your active app and window title for smarter transcription hints. Works across editors, browsers, and apps - no extensions needed.

Pro feature

Action Engine

Trigger keyboard shortcuts, open apps, and run workflows with voice commands.

Pro feature

Simple pricing.
No subscriptions.

Local dictation stays free. Early Access is free too, and testers get the first Pro features while they are in development.
