EnviousWispr is a privacy-first, on-device dictation tool for macOS that turns spoken words into polished, ready-to-use text in real time. It serves as a local alternative to cloud-based services like Wispr Flow, handling both transcription and editing directly on your Apple Silicon Mac so your audio never leaves your machine.
To use it, just hold a hotkey, speak, and release. EnviousWispr transcribes the audio, strips out filler words, fixes grammar, applies natural formatting, and pastes the clean text exactly where your cursor is.
Local Transcription and Smart Editing
- On-device engines: NVIDIA Parakeet for English, or WhisperKit for auto-detecting 99 languages.
- Flexible polishing: edit your text locally using Apple Intelligence or Ollama. If you prefer cloud models, plug in your own OpenAI or Gemini API key (configured by default to disable data logging and storage).
- Speed: fast processing with a median time of 0.43 seconds for raw text and 1.51 seconds for fully polished text.
Key Features
- Works anywhere: paste text instantly into any application on your Mac, whether it's Slack, Discord, Microsoft Word, or any browser-based web app. Wherever your cursor can type, EnviousWispr can paste.
- Smart vocabulary and fuzzy matching: pull contact and directory names directly from your Mac. The Your Words system builds acronyms and applies fuzzy matching against them, catching common phonetic misspellings so custom names, acronyms, and industry jargon transcribe correctly every time.
- Smart formatting: automatically formats phone numbers, currencies, dates, percentages, emails, and URLs.
- Zero-friction setup: no account, no email, and no registration. Just download the app and start dictating.
- Clipboard protection: pastes text without overwriting your existing clipboard.
- Inline emojis: speak the name of an emoji to insert it instantly.
- Long-form dictation: supports continuous recording for up to one hour.
- High sensitivity: captures soft, quiet, or distant speech accurately.
