What you need

- A microphone
- Internet once, to download the speech model
- About 500 MB free for the default speech model
Good to know on Windows
- Key combinationsWindows apps cannot see the Fn key, so the dictation keys are ordinary combinations such as Ctrl + Alt + Space.
- Speech stays on your PCWhisper runs on your PC with its processor. No audio is sent anywhere.
- On an older laptopChoose the Fast speech model in Settings if dictation feels slow.
- Your own AI, if you want itAdd your own AI provider and key and it tidies each dictation, for free. Without it, you get the text as heard.
