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.
