Whisperstream is a Windows-native dictation app that runs 100% on your PC. Press a push-to-talk hotkey, speak, and your transcribed words paste into whatever window has focus: your IDE, your email, your notes, Slack. Transcription runs locally on the CPU via NVIDIA Parakeet TDT v3 (ONNX Runtime). Audio never touches the network.
Key features:
100% local, on-CPU transcription. No network calls during dictation.
Windows-native, built for Windows 11.
Push-to-talk hotkey or toggle mode. Bind to any key.
Custom word replacements for jargon, names, code, acronyms.
Auto-lowers your music while you dictate.
$29 one-time purchase. Lifetime updates. 30-day money-back guarantee.
Free trial on first install, no account required.
Built for Windows vibe coders dictating into Cursor, Claude Code, or VS Code; privacy-critical professionals (legal, healthcare, defense); accessibility and RSI users; writers; and academics. The wedge: Windows-native, fully local, one-time pricing. Differentiation versus cloud-tied dictation tools that charge a subscription or fail compliance requirements.
