Frequently asked questions

Why not just run Whisper myself?

There’s nothing to build or configure: no Python, no packages, no command line. The model downloads inside the app, runs on any brand of GPU, and the text goes straight to your cursor.

Does Whisper work offline?

Yes. Once the model is downloaded, recognition runs entirely on your computer and nothing is sent anywhere.

Is there Whisper for my phone?

Yes, the Android app has Whisper models too — it is offline voice typing in any app.

How much does it cost?

Voice typing on a PC with every model is free forever. File transcription, subtitles and translation are part of Pro: 14 days free after you install, then a one-time purchase with no subscription.
