Dictate anywhere.
Polished text appears at your cursor.

Press Option+Space, speak, stop. Whisper Voice transcribes, reformats for the target app (Slack, Mail, Markdown…), and pastes — all in one breath.

See it in action

12 seconds. Slack. No tricks.

Real dictation in Slack. Watch the auto-mode detect the app, the panel float in, the waveform breathe with my voice, and the text paste back with inline-code rendering — the kind of thing you'd normally need to manually toggle Slack's markup setting for.

Super Mode

Select text. Speak your edit. Done.

Voice-controlled Cursor for any text field. Highlight an email, speak *"make it shorter and less formal"*, and the edit is pasted back in place.

The voice Cursor that works everywhere.

Your cursor becomes a voice-operated editor. No extension, no sidebar, no context switch. Works in Gmail, Notion, Slack, Linear, even plain textareas.

  • Keeps the file/URL context as a hint for the LLM
  • Git repo, branch and cwd auto-injected when you're in a terminal or IDE
  • No text selected? Speak a free-form instruction — it acts like a pocket assistant
1 · Selected text
"Hi team, I want to let you know we are launching the new feature next week…"
2 · Spoken instruction
⏺ "Make it one punchy sentence with one emoji."
3 · Pasted back
🚀 New feature ships next week — team, hold tight.
Features

Built for the way you actually write.

6 processing modes

Brut, Clean, Formel, Casual, Markdown, Super. Shift-cycle during recording. Or create your own with custom prompts.

Auto-mode by app

Map Slack → Slack mode, Mail → Formel. Whisper Voice detects the frontmost app and switches automatically. Resets to Brut between unrelated apps.

Projects with smart tagging

History auto-tags entries to your projects via git remote, workspace hint, browser host. Filter, search, retro-tag in bulk.

Full pipeline audit

Every dictation logs input, system prompt, output, char delta. Built-in log viewer. You always know exactly what the LLM did with your voice.

Dual-format clipboard

HTML + plain text. Slack, Notion, Gmail get rendered bold/code/lists. Terminal and editors get the raw markdown. No <br> nonsense.

Custom vocabulary

Add your product names (PostHog, Chatwoot…) once. Biases Whisper AND the LLM prompt so your jargon survives transcription and reformatting.

Why I built this

Paid €10/month for what a weekend could ship.

I was paying €10/month to Superwhisper. Great app, but I used it 5 minutes a day and I knew the tech was an OpenAI Whisper API call behind a UI.

So I ran the numbers: €120/year × thousands of users = a fat margin on top of a ~$0.06/hour API cost. I figured the UI was the only real moat.

Three weekends later, Whisper Voice had feature parity + a few things Superwhisper doesn't have (Super Mode, project auto-tagging, dual-clipboard). I open-sourced it under MIT.

If you dictate, I want this to be the last voice-to-text tool you ever install. If you want to fork, rebrand, or ship your own flavor — go for it.
