About

Express Scribe is a free audio player specifically designed for typists and transcription work. Featuring foot pedal control, variable speed, speech to text engine integration and support for a wide variety of audio formats including dss, dct, wav, mp3, wma and more. Audio recordings can be loaded automatically from email, LAN, FTP, local hard drive and Express Delegate. Traditional hand held dictation recorders can also be docked.

About

Whisperstream is Windows-native dictation that runs on your PC. Press a hotkey, speak, and your words are cleaned up, formatted for the app you're in, and pasted into the focused window: your IDE, email, notes, or chat. Audio never leaves your device, because transcription runs locally on your CPU (NVIDIA Parakeet and Qwen3 ASR, 39 languages). On a supported GPU the AI cleanup runs on-device too, with no API key. It removes filler words and false starts, then formats per app: code in your editor, prose in email, a quick line in chat. Every dictation is saved to a private, encrypted local history you can search and replay, and you can import audio files to transcribe meetings and memos. Works offline. No telemetry, no screen capture. $29 one-time, 7-day unlimited free trial. No subscription, no per-minute fees. Built for privacy-critical professionals, Windows builders, and anyone tired of cloud-tied dictation.

Audience

Privacy-critical professionals in regulated fields (legal, healthcare, defense, NDA-bound engineering) where cloud dictation fails compliance review and training-data clauses are deal-breakers. Windows builders dictating into Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and JetBrains IDEs who don't want code-related speech going to a third-party API. Accessibility and RSI users who need a hotkey-and-speak workflow with no scripting. Writers, academics, and ESL users who think faster than they type and want their speech kept on their own machine.
