About

Secretary42 is a desktop dictation application for professionals, writers, developers, and other people who want to turn speech into text while working in their usual Mac or Windows apps. A customizable global hotkey starts and stops dictation; the bundled whisper.cpp engine transcribes speech locally using downloadable Whisper models, and sends the result to the active cursor, clipboard, or a file. Users can choose models that balance speed and recognition quality and review, copy, or delete locally stored transcription history. The app is designed for drafting email, documents, notes, support replies, issue reports, and documentation. Dictation runs on the device without cloud transcription; an internet connection is used separately for checkout, license activation and checks, model and app downloads, support, and optional diagnostics. Secretary42 is available for macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows x64.

About

Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI for converting spoken language into text. It is trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask audio data collected from the web. The model is designed to handle diverse accents, background noise, and technical language with high accuracy. Whisper supports transcription in multiple languages as well as translation into English. It uses an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture to process audio inputs and generate text outputs. The system can also perform tasks like language identification and timestamp generation. Overall, Whisper enables developers to build robust voice-enabled applications with ease.
