My Whisper

AI dictation, voice to text

Only for Mac

$3.99

Mac

Hold a shortcut. Speak. Release. Polished text appears where your cursor already is — in Mail, Slack, Xcode, your browser, a comment box, anywhere. My Whisper is a small menu-bar app for macOS. There is no window to switch to, no "start recording" button to hunt for, no transcript to copy and paste back. Your hands stay on the keyboard and your eyes stay on your work. HOW IT WORKS • Hold ⌃⌥Space — or any shortcut you prefer — and talk. • A floating capsule shows a live waveform, a timer, and an on-device preview of your words. • Let go, and the text is inserted at the cursor. ⌘Z undoes it like anything you typed. GUIDED SETUP A short walkthrough runs the first time you open the app: your API key, microphone access, and the shortcut to hold. It stays in the sidebar afterwards, so you can return to it whenever you like. WRITING MODES The same sentence can land as a raw note or a finished paragraph. Clear Writing, Email, Casual, Coding, Notes and Raw are built in, and you can write your own. Press ⌘K mid-sentence to switch modes without stopping. YOUR WORDS, SPELLED RIGHT Add names, products and jargon to the Dictionary. Terms are handed to the speech model as context and known mishearings are repaired afterwards, so "Kubernetes" stops arriving as "cooper netties". DOZENS OF LANGUAGES Dictate in dozens of languages, or let My Whisper detect what you are speaking. Switch languages between dictations without touching a setting. BUILT FOR THE KEYBOARD • Three activation styles: tap to toggle, hold a shortcut, or hold a bare modifier (right ⌥, ⌘, ⌃, ⇧ or fn). • Esc cancels, ⌘P pauses, ⌘K cycles writing modes. • The capsule never changes width between states, so the stop button stays exactly where you aimed. • Drag it anywhere on screen and it stays there. MADE TO LOOK RIGHT Light and dark appearances that follow the system, and ten themes to choose from. NOTHING GETS LOST If the connection drops, your audio is not thrown away. Retry re-sends what was captured; Keep recording adds to it. A failed polish pass falls back to your raw transcript rather than losing your words. PRIVACY Audio is held in memory and uploaded once per dictation — never written to disk. The live preview uses Apple's on-device recogniser and never falls back to a server; it switches itself off when on-device recognition is unavailable for your language. Only your transcript history and a local usage tally are stored, and both clear with one click. Point the endpoint at a local server — whisper.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM — and audio never leaves your Mac. ONE PURCHASE, YOUR OWN KEY My Whisper is a one-time purchase: buy it once and it stays yours — no subscription, no account, no sign-in. Transcription runs on your own OpenAI API key, pasted once into Settings and kept in your login Keychain, never on disk. You pay OpenAI directly for what you use, and the Usage screen estimates the running cost. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works, including one on your own machine. REQUIREMENTS macOS 14 or later. An OpenAI API key, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint of your own. Microphone access. Accessibility access is optional — it enables auto-paste and modifier-key activation; without it, your text is simply left on the clipboard.

Setting the app up is no longer a guessing game. A GUIDED FIRST LAUNCH My Whisper has no Dock icon and no window, so the first launch used to show nothing at all — while an API key, microphone access and a keyboard shortcut were all still needed before a single word could be dictated. A short walkthrough now runs the first time you open the app and takes you through each one, starting with the key. You can skip any step you do not need. SETUP GUIDE, ALWAYS REACHABLE The walkthrough is a permanent row in the sidebar rather than a window you see once and lose. If something needed is still missing, the sidebar says so and takes you straight to the step that fixes it — and it disappears once you are set up. DARK MODE AND TEN THEMES A full dark appearance that follows the system, plus ten themes. Every colour is now derived from the theme, so contrast holds up on all of them. SOUND WHEN IT IS LISTENING Short system sounds mark the start and end of a dictation, so you know it is recording without looking at the screen. FIXES • The window keeps its content intact when resized or minimised, and now has a sensible minimum size. • Consistent backgrounds, and real dividers between the top bar, sidebar and content. • Menus and dropdowns are visible instead of something you had to guess at. • The app icon no longer has a stray plate behind it. • Settings opens within the window, saves as you type, and closes when you click outside. The app is now called My Whisper, spelled as two words.
