No Upload Round Trip

Local Whisper runs on your Windows PC. Your recording does not need to travel to a cloud API before text appears.

Global Hotkey

Set one global hotkey, then dictate in the app already in front of you. Tap-to-talk and push-to-talk keep the control out of your way.

Choose Your Speed

Run locally on any CPU, or use CUDA on a compatible NVIDIA GPU for faster transcription. Pick the model and engine that fit your machine.

Dictation is quietly broken.

Upload latency. Cloud audio. Typing bottlenecks.

Upload latency

Cloud dictation has to send audio away first. PrivateTranscribe can transcribe on the machine you are already using.

Cloud audio

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

Typing bottlenecks

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

The speed proof is simple. No upload step, CUDA when available, and text pasted where your cursor already is.

Custom Dictionary

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

Local History

Transcripts are saved in local SQLite, not synced to our cloud. Search, copy, and reuse past dictations on your machine.

99 Languages

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

AI Enhancement

AI Enhancement is still being built. Approved testers can try the current beta with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, or local models while we refine it.

PrivateTranscribe Pro

For people who dictate
all day.

Pro removes the daily word limit now. The features below will be added to Pro as they are finished. Approved testers can try them early.

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.

Beta

Voice Assistant

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

Beta

Correction Memory

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

Beta

Smart Context

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

Beta

Action Engine

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