HyperVoice is a dictation tool designed to convert speech to text locally on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. It addresses the need for fast, privacy-focused voice-to-text input by running its speech recognition engine directly on the user's machine, ensuring that audio never leaves the device. The application is activated via a customizable hotkey, allowing users to dictate into any application with a text field, such as code editors, email clients, chat apps, and terminals.
The tool features a floating, always-on-top interface element that provides real-time visual feedback during dictation, indicating when it is listening, transcribing, or has completed text insertion. HyperVoice supports sub-second transcription latency with GPU acceleration using Vulkan, compatible with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs on Windows and Linux, and falls back to CPU processing if no GPU is present. The app utilizes Whisper and Parakeet speech models for on-device transcription, supporting 99 languages and offering multiple model sizes to suit different needs.
For those seeking enhanced output, HyperVoice offers optional AI-powered cleanup of transcripts via cloud processing. Users can choose from seven built-in rewriting styles or create custom prompts, with cloud cleanup accessible through their own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys or via HyperVoice Cloud on the Pro plan. This feature can format emails, structure meeting notes, generate bullet points, and more, but is off by default to maintain privacy.
Additional capabilities include a searchable local history of dictations, usage statistics, and a customizable dictionary for handling jargon and names. The service is available as a free download with a daily limit of 500 words and requires no credit card. For users needing unlimited access, a lifetime license option is available for a one-time purchase, with no ongoing subscription required. HyperVoice is positioned as a cross-platform alternative to typical macOS-only or subscription-based dictation tools, focusing on privacy, speed, and accessibility for anyone seeking to replace typing with voice input.
In the Voice, TTS & speech space, HyperVoice takes a focused approach. It focuses on transcribing speech to text locally without sending audio to the cloud. HyperVoice is a consumer product aimed at professionals and individuals needing dictation. HyperVoice follows a freemium model, with paid plans starting at $7. HyperVoice is available on the command line, Windows, Linux, and macOS.
