SpeechPulse for Web

Brief summary

SpeechPulse is a voice-to-text application designed to speed up text entry by converting spoken words into written text instantly. It runs without an internet connection, listens through the computer’s microphone, and works inside common environments like text editors and web browsers. Built on the Whisper family of speech-to-text models, it maintains strong recognition even when background noise is present.

Primary capabilities

• Transcribes spoken input live so you can dictate directly into other programs.
• Performs all recognition locally, allowing offline use without sending audio to external servers.
• Uses Whisper-based models to improve accuracy in noisy settings.
• Offers live translation of non-English speech into English during dictation.

Language support and file handling

• Produces subtitle files with exact timestamps for video or captioning needs.
• Converts and translates audio file formats such as WAV and MP3.
• Recognizes multiple spoken languages, including Japanese, Spanish, and English.

Supported platforms

• Apple Silicon Macs (native compatibility)
• Windows desktops and laptops

Alternative option

MetaVoice Studio (subscription) — a recommended paid alternative for users seeking a different feature set or pricing model, with its own set of real-time transcription and translation tools.
