Speech to text for Windows

Talk, and it types.

Hold F4, speak, let go. Your words appear in any app you are using: chat, email, a code editor, a document. It runs fully on your own PC, and it understands Indian English and Hinglish.

HOLD F4 TO TALK
How it works

Three steps. No window to switch to.

01

Hold F4

Put your cursor anywhere you can type. Hold the F4 key (you can change the key in settings).

02

Speak

Talk normally, in English or Hinglish. A small status bar shows that it is listening.

03

Let go

Your speech is turned into text on your own PC and typed for you, right where the cursor is.

Features

Private, fast, and made for Indian voices.

◉

Runs on your PC

Your voice never leaves your computer. No internet needed after install, no account, no subscription.

>>

Fast on NVIDIA GPUs

Uses faster-whisper with CUDA, so text appears quickly. It also works on the CPU, just slower.

अ

Indian English and Hinglish

Models tuned for Indian accents. Mix Hindi and English freely, get English back, or get Hindi written in English letters.

↻

Five ways to record

Hold to talk, press to start and stop, stop on silence, continuous, or say a wake word to start.

✎

Types into any app

Works anywhere a cursor blinks: WhatsApp Web, Gmail, Word, VS Code, games chat, and more.

⚙

FAQ

Questions

Does it send my voice to the internet?

No. The speech models run on your own computer. Your voice and your text stay on your PC.

Do I need an NVIDIA graphics card?

No, but it helps a lot. With an NVIDIA GPU, text appears in about a second. On the CPU it works, but it is slower, especially with the large models.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once, any amount from $3. There is no monthly fee and no account.

Why is the installer so big?

The speech models are inside it, so it works offline right after install. The main installer covers Hinglish Roman and the wake word. Install the optional extra models file only if you want the Indian English or Hinglish to English modes.

Why does Windows show a warning when I run it?

The installer is new and not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not right now. WhisperWriter is for Windows only.
