TypeWhisper

TypeWhisper provides on‑device speech‑to‑text conversion using the Whisper model, allowing users to dictate text without sending audio to external services. It runs locally, keeping recordings private and eliminating the need for an internet connection. A configurable global hotkey lets the user start and stop transcription from any application, inserting the recognized text directly into the active window.

The tool is aimed at individuals who need hands‑free typing across the operating system, such as writers, programmers, or anyone who frequently composes text while multitasking. Because it operates locally, it is suitable for environments where network access is limited or data security is a priority.

Implemented as an open‑source project, TypeWhisper is freely available and has reached a stable maturity level. It can be installed and used without a subscription, and the source code can be inspected or modified by the community.
