Whisperstream
On-device dictation for Windows with no cloud transcription
Overview

A look at whisperstream.io
Whisperstream is a dictation toolkit for Windows that performs speech recognition entirely on your computer using NVIDIA's Parakeet model. The software captures voice through push-to-talk hotkeys, transcribes it locally on your CPU, and delivers the text to any focused application without sending audio to cloud servers. It supports 39 languages, works offline after initial setup, and includes optional AI cleanup features that can remove filler words and fix grammar. The application features broad compatibility across apps like Outlook, Slack, and VS Code, custom dictionaries for technical terms, and automatic profile switching based on the active application.

FAQ
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes. You can download Whisperstream and try it free for at least seven days from your first dictation that produces text, with no account or credit card required.
- Do I need an internet connection?
- Core speech recognition and text delivery can run offline after setup. Internet access is still used for license validation, updates, model downloads, optional cloud cleanup, and external destinations.

- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended. Works on CPU with no GPU required. A modern processor (Intel 8th gen+ or AMD Ryzen 3000+) gives near-instant transcription.
