Features
A serious writing tool, not a toy transcription widget.
Everything you need to replace typing with speaking — without sacrificing privacy or speed.
Private by default
Audio is processed on your Mac. No account wall, no hidden cloud relay, no surveillance UX. Your voice never leaves your machine unless you choose to.
Fast enough for flow
Hold your shortcut, speak naturally, and get polished text where your cursor already is. Under 500ms end-to-end. It feels like the words just appear.
Messy speech to clean writing
Filler words, awkward pauses, and rough phrasing get cleaned up into readable text instantly. You ramble. It polishes.
System-wide hotkey
Use it in docs, terminal tools, chat apps, ticketing systems, and your browser with one shortcut. If you can type there, TurboWhisper works there.
Multilingual dictation
Speak in 30+ languages with automatic detection. Context switching between languages happens without friction or manual configuration.
Built for real workflows
Designed for operators, developers, founders, and support teams who type all day long. Not a toy. A tool you depend on.
