Description
Local Whisper is offline voice-to-text for Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak into any app — email, docs, Slack, code, or an AI prompt — and clean, punctuated text lands right where your cursor is. The speech engine runs entirely on your PC, so nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. It works with no internet, even in airplane mode. Your voice never leaves your machine. And it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, ever.
