WhisPaste
Free, open-source dictation that runs on your machine
WhisPaste turns OpenAI's Whisper into a real desktop app: press a hotkey, speak, and the transcript is pasted at your cursor - in any app, on Windows, macOS or Linux. Offline by default - whisper.cpp runs locally, audio never leaves your device Free & open source (MIT) - no account, no subscription Broad hardware support - Vulkan, Metal, CPU fallback Built for anyone who wants to write at the speed of speech, privately.
Hey - maker here. WhisPaste started because I wanted Whisper's accuracy on the desktop without giving up privacy or paying a subscription for something that runs fine on a laptop CPU. Happy to answer anything about the local-Whisper setup, the hotkey/overlay UX, or what's next on the roadmap.
