Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
EdgeWhisper is designed to be invisible until you need it. One hotkey, speak, release. Your words appear — formatted, polished, ready.
Real-Time Transcription
Speak naturally and see your words appear in real-time. Sub-500ms latency powered by Voxtral Mini 4B from Mistral AI, running locally via MLX on Apple Silicon.
Works Everywhere
Inject text into any macOS app — VS Code, Slack, Terminal, Safari, Mail, Notes, Google Docs. If you can type there, EdgeWhisper works there.
100% On-Device
Your audio never leaves your Mac. The 4-billion parameter Voxtral model runs entirely on-device. Zero cloud calls, zero telemetry, zero accounts.
AI Auto-Edits
Automatic punctuation, smart capitalization, and filler word removal. Say 'um' and 'uh' — EdgeWhisper removes them automatically.
Developer-Ready
Smart terminal detection for 20+ dev tools. Works perfectly in VS Code, Xcode, iTerm2, Warp, and JetBrains IDEs with intelligent injection.
Apple Silicon Native
Built in Swift for macOS. Runs Voxtral Mini via the MLX framework on the Neural Engine. No Electron, no overhead — pure native performance.
Snippet Library
30+ built-in voice shortcuts. Say 'calendar' to expand your scheduling link. Create custom snippets with variable support.
Assistive Voice Input
Empowers users with RSI, motor disabilities, or anyone who finds typing difficult. Speak instead of type — EdgeWhisper makes your Mac fully voice-driven.
13 Languages
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Arabic, and more. Automatic language detection powered by Voxtral's multilingual encoder.
Two ways to insert text.
You choose.
EdgeWhisper works perfectly in clipboard mode with zero setup. Enable macOS Accessibility for a seamless, paste-free experience where text appears directly at your cursor.
Clipboard Mode
Works out of the box — no extra permissions
Transcribed text is automatically copied to your clipboard. Simply press ⌘V to paste into any app. This is the default mode and requires zero additional setup.
- No extra permissions needed
- Works in every macOS app
- Full ⌘V paste control
- Preserves clipboard history if you use a clipboard manager
Direct Insertion Mode
Text appears instantly — no paste step
With macOS Accessibility permission enabled, EdgeWhisper types text directly into whatever app has focus. No ⌘V needed — your words simply appear at the cursor. Ideal for rapid dictation workflows.
- Text typed directly into active app
- No manual paste step
- Works at cursor position
- Best for high-volume dictation
How to Enable Direct Insertion
Three quick steps — takes less than 30 seconds
Open System Settings
Go to Privacy & Security → Accessibility
Add EdgeWhisper
Click the + button and select EdgeWhisper, or toggle it on
Enable in app
Open EdgeWhisper Settings → General → Toggle "Direct Text Insertion"
Privacy note: Accessibility permission is used solely for typing text at your cursor position. EdgeWhisper never reads screen content, tracks keystrokes, or accesses other apps' data. All processing remains 100% on-device.
Three steps. That's it.
Whether you're a developer, writer, professional, or someone who relies on voice instead of typing — EdgeWhisper works the moment you grant microphone permission.
Hold the key
Press and hold the Fn key (or your custom shortcut). EdgeWhisper activates instantly from the menu bar — no app switching needed.
Speak naturally
Talk at your normal pace. EdgeWhisper transcribes in real-time using Voxtral AI on-device. Say 'um', ramble, correct yourself — it handles everything.
Text appears
Release the key. Polished, formatted text is injected directly into whatever app has focus. Emails, docs, code, chat — everywhere.
Your voice stays
on your Mac.
Unlike cloud-based alternatives that route your audio through remote servers, EdgeWhisper runs the full Voxtral Mini 4B model from Mistral AI directly on Apple Silicon's Neural Engine. Your words are processed locally — they never leave your machine.
No accounts. No telemetry. No cloud. The architecture makes it impossible to collect your data. Voxtral is open-source (Apache 2.0) — you can verify every claim.
Works Offline
No internet required after the initial model download. Process speech without any network connection.
No Telemetry
Zero analytics, zero tracking, zero data collection. We don't know who you are or what you say.
Local Storage Only
All data stays in your Mac's Application Support folder. Full export and deletion at any time.
No Accounts
No sign-up, no email, no login. Download, grant permissions, and start dictating.
HIPAA-Ready
Since nothing leaves your device, EdgeWhisper is inherently compliant with data privacy regulations.
Open-Source AI Model
Powered by Voxtral Mini 4B from Mistral AI, released under Apache 2.0. Transparent, auditable, trustworthy.
Works where you work.
EdgeWhisper injects text directly into any macOS application. Native apps, web browsers, Electron apps, terminals — everywhere.
For Developers
Dictate code comments, PR descriptions, documentation, and Slack messages. Smart terminal detection means it works perfectly in your IDE and terminal. No more context-switching to type.
For Writers
Write blog posts, scripts, emails, and social content at the speed of thought. Auto-editing handles punctuation and formatting while you focus on ideas. Writer's block meets its match.
For Professionals
Legal professionals, healthcare workers, and consultants who need accurate, private dictation. On-device processing means HIPAA-ready compliance without extra infrastructure.
For Accessibility
Empowers users with RSI, carpal tunnel, motor disabilities, or anyone who prefers voice over typing. Speak naturally and EdgeWhisper types for you — making every Mac app voice-driven.
