Type with your
voice. On Windows.
A small, fast dictation app that turns rough speech into clean text inside whatever you're typing in. Hold a key, talk, release. Cleanup happens before the words land. Pay forty-nine dollars once. No subscription.
devices_active: 0 / 1
Three actions. No mouse. No menus.
Hold a key
Bind any key — Right Alt, Scroll Lock, F19. Hold to talk; release to send. Or tap a chord to toggle on/off.
Speak naturally
Filler words, false starts, unfinished sentences — fine. The cleanup pass turns rough speech into the sentence you meant.
Text appears
Inserted at your cursor in whatever app has focus — IDE, browser, email, chat. Your clipboard is left untouched.
The math is not subtle.

You probably want to know.
When you enter your key on a new computer, Whisper Talk asks the license server to bind that machine. If a different machine is already bound, the app shows you the bound device and lets you move the license — the old machine is deactivated immediately. There is no per-seat upsell; you can move as often as you like.
License verification happens once a week, so brief offline periods are fine. Transcription itself uses Groq by default (cloud), but you can point the app at a local Ollama instance for fully offline dictation. The license check is the only thing that ever needs internet.
FreeFlow on Mac is excellent and we recommend it. The Windows port required from-scratch engineering — different keyboard hooks, different paste mechanism, different audio APIs. The $49 covers continued development, license infrastructure, and a real human reading your support email. (Compared to two years of any Mac dictation subscription, you still come out ahead.)
Audio goes directly from the app to Groq (or your local Ollama). The Whisper Talk license server only sees your email, payment confirmation, and a hashed device fingerprint. No audio, no transcripts, no usage data ever touches our servers.
Yes — within 30 days, no questions, just reply to the license email. After 30 days the answer is "probably yes if there is a real reason." We are not in the business of trapping people.
Windows 10 and Windows 11, x64. The app is around 80 MB installed and uses ~150 MB of RAM at idle. Microphone permission is required (Windows Privacy → Microphone → Allow desktop apps).
