Wispuh
An MIT-licensed speech-to-text app for macOS that uses Whisper locally and pastes dictation into other apps. Works offline after the first model download.
Wispuh is an MIT-licensed speech-to-text app for macOS 14 and later that puts dictated text into the app you're working in. It's for Mac users who want voice input across their everyday software without sending recordings to a cloud service. It doesn't require an account.
Transcription runs on your Mac through Whisper and whisper.cpp. The app downloads a Whisper model on first launch, then works offline. Your voice data stays on your machine, so ongoing dictation doesn't depend on an internet connection or a hosted transcription service.
A global hotkey starts and stops recording, and Wispuh pastes the transcription at your cursor. You can dictate into text fields in VS Code, Safari, Slack, Notes and Terminal rather than move text out of a separate transcription window. It saves your clipboard contents before pasting and restores them afterward, preserving whatever you had copied.
The app lives in the menu bar and has no Dock icon. Its floating recording indicator stays above your work without taking keyboard focus away from the active app.
