OpenWhispr
Open-source voice-to-text dictation with privacy-first local transcription
Visit openwhispr.com ↗What is OpenWhispr?
OpenWhispr is a free, open-source dictation tool that converts speech to text using local or cloud-based AI models. It works across macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS, letting users dictate into any application via a global hotkey. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to WisprFlow and Granola.
Key features include voice dictation with automatic pasting, meeting transcription with AI-generated notes, multilingual translation, and integration with AI assistants like Claude and GPT. All processing can happen locally on the user's device, ensuring voice data never leaves their computer. The project was built using Claude Code and is available under the MIT license on GitHub.
