Hold a key and talk anywhere on your Mac. WhisperBud turns rambling speech into clear, formatted text in a blink. Every word is processed right on your device.
Fast, private, and out of the way. WhisperBud sits in your menu bar until you need it, then turns talk into polished text.
Whisper runs your speech-to-text right on your Mac. No accounts required to start, no audio leaving your machine.
A small local model strips filler, fixes punctuation and casing, and formats for the app you’re in, whether that’s email, code, or chat.
WhisperBud types into whatever has your cursor. No copy-paste, no special editor. It just inserts the text.
See words dictated, time saved, and your daily streak. Optional cloud backup keeps your numbers across devices.
Pick any key or shortcut. Hold to talk, or tap to toggle.
Ramble, pause, change your mind. Whisper transcribes it on-device.
Formatted, punctuated, and filler-free, dropped right where your cursor is.
Speech recognition and cleanup both run locally with Whisper and a small on-device language model. Your audio and transcripts never touch a server. The only thing that syncs, if you let it, is your usage stats.
Voice that finally works. WhisperBud lets you write, code, and message at the speed of thought, about 140 words a minute, cleaned up on-device and dropped right where your cursor is.
