About

I'm a solo developer building VoxScribe, a Windows app that turns speech into text using a local Whisper model, no cloud, no accounts, nothing leaves your machine. I built it because I was tired of dictation tools that either cost a subscription or send your voice to a server. Hold a hotkey, talk, and it types straight into whatever app you're using. Currently working on a Pro tier and an Android companion app. Always happy to hear what people want next.

VoxScribe: free voice typing that never leaves your device

Hi all. VoxScribe is free, open-source voice typing for Windows and Android. You talk, and your words are typed into whatever app you're using. Speech recognition runs on your own computer or phone with Whisper, so your voice is never uploaded, and there's no account or subscription.

On Windows you hold a key (F9 by default) anywhere and talk. It also turns audio and video files into text and .srt captions. On Android a small floating button appears above your keyboard in any app, and it keeps working in airplane mode. Both have voice commands like "scratch that", word replacements for names it keeps mishearing, and an optional "send it" that sends a chat message for you.

VoxScribe - Free, offline voice dictation for any Windows app

Hold a hotkey, talk, release, and your words get typed straight into whatever app has focus. Speech-to-text runs fully offline on your machine (faster-whisper), so there's no account, no cloud, and no per-minute cost. Free and open source (MIT), with an optional one-time Pro unlock for bigger models and text snippets.
