Private by design
Your words never have to leave your computer.
Choose a local model and wispa transcribes everything on-device with Whisper. No audio upload, no account, no telemetry. Want cloud speed or AI clean-up? Bring your own key.
- On-device by default
- Works offline
- No account, no telemetry
How it stays private
Local by default, cloud only if you ask.
-
01
Pick a local model
Choose Whisper, plus Parakeet on Apple Silicon, and wispa downloads it once so transcription runs on your own hardware.
-
02
Your audio is processed on-device
Speech is transcribed locally and the audio is discarded on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to sign into.
-
03
Cloud stays your decision
If you ever want cloud speed or AI clean-up, you opt in with your own OpenAI, Groq or Anthropic key. It is off until you choose it.
What that means for you
Privacy that is the default, not a setting.
-
Nothing leaves your machine
With a local model, your voice and the text it becomes stay on your computer. There is nothing to log into and nothing uploaded.
-
Works fully offline
Local models run without a connection, so you can dictate on a plane, offline, or on a locked-down network with no loss of function.
-
No account, no telemetry
wispa needs no sign-up and collects no usage data. You are not the product, and there is no profile building up in the background.
-
Cloud is opt-in, with your key
Prefer a cloud model or AI clean-up? Add your own API key. You stay in control of what leaves your device and what does not.
