Wispr (macOS dictation)

Privacy-first macOS menu bar app for on-device voice dictation powered by Whisper or Parakeet.

Desktopfreeglobal

Wispr is a macOS menu bar app for local, hotkey-triggered speech-to-text dictation that runs entirely on-device using a choice of OpenAI Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet models, so audio never leaves the Mac. It offers multiple model sizes trading off speed and accuracy, including a low-latency streaming option, inserting transcribed text directly at the cursor.
