About TypeWhisper
TypeWhisper converts speech to text on macOS, Windows, and iOS. It provides system-wide dictation that types into the active text field in apps such as mail, messaging, editors, and browsers, and it transcribes audio and video files.
It includes workflows to remove filler words, add punctuation, format notes, and translate, with a choice of local engines including WhisperKit, Parakeet, and Apple Speech. Local engines run on the device with no telemetry, and cloud providers are used only if the user adds and selects them; the Mac version requires macOS 14 or later, and Apple Speech requires macOS 26+.
