For speech-to-text, Parakeet runs entirely on your device free, offline, ~680MB one-time download , while Deepgram cloud offers maximum accuracy with audio that is never retained or trained on by PPQ. For cleanup, you can run Local Gemma on-device, use the Tinfoil hardware-secured enclave, or use fast cloud processing. Local modes keep everything on your machine; cloud modes trade that for a bit more speed and accuracy. Dictation has been around for decades, but it always felt clunky — robotic output, constant misheard words, and no understanding of context. In the last year, AI models have leapt forward dramatically. Modern speech-to-text models are far more accurate across accents, background noise, and natural speech patterns. On top of that, large language models can now clean up raw transcriptions intelligently — removing filler words, fixing grammar, and formatting text the way you actually meant it. The result is dictation that finally feels natural, fast, and reliable enough to replace typing for real work. Private Whisper is available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It works in any app — just press your hotkey and start talking. Your transcribed text is pasted directly into whatever application is active, whether that's ChatGPT, Slack, Google Docs, VS Code, or anything else. Private Whisper supports dozens of languages and accents. Local Parakeet transcription covers 25 languages, and cloud transcription supports most major world languages with auto-detect. English has the highest accuracy. After installing Private Whisper, open the app settings to choose your preferred hotkey. The default is the globe key on macOS. You can change it to any key combination that works for your workflow. When you press your hotkey, Private Whisper records your audio and transcribes it with a speech-to-text model — either locally on your device Parakeet or via the cloud Deepgram . The raw transcription is optionally passed through a language model that cleans up filler words, fixes grammar, and formats the text — on-device Local Gemma , inside a hardware-secured enclave Tinfoil , or in the cloud. The polished result is pasted into your active app in a couple of seconds. Write your next email, message, or prompt with Private Whisper.
