Free, sub-second on-device AI dictation for macOS
EnviousWispr is a free, open-source AI dictation app for macOS that runs entirely on Apple Silicon. It transcribes voice locally using dual speech-to-text engines (NVIDIA Parakeet for English and WhisperKit for 99+ languages), optionally polishes text with on-device AI or cloud models, and auto-pastes clean text into any app. No cloud, no account, no subscription—audio never leaves your device. Built for developers, writers, founders, and healthcare professionals.
