Local AI dictation for Windows. Push-to-talk hotkey, words paste into any window, transcription runs on your CPU so audio never leaves your machine. No cloud, no model trained on your voice. $29 one-time, no subscription. Free trial, no account.
Hi PH. I'm djackson, building Whisperstream: local dictation for Windows.
I wanted two things I couldn't find together. Dictation that runs fully on my own machine, so the audio never leaves the device (no cloud, no model trained on my voice). And a tool I pay for once instead of renting forever.
So that's what this is. On-device transcription on your CPU, a push-to-talk hotkey that pastes into any window, $29 one-time, no subscription.
Still polishing ahead of launch. If it's something you'd use, hit Notify Me and I'll let you know when it's live. Feedback very welcome..
