Email and messages, spoken instead of typed
Most replies take less time to say than to type. Press the hotkey, say your reply at a normal pace, and it lands in the field: in the email, the chat, the ticket. You phrase things more freely because you are talking instead of typing.
Catch ideas and notes before they slip away
Good thoughts rarely arrive while your hands are on the keyboard. One keypress captures them: the shopping list, the weekend idea, the thought that hits mid-read. The quick-note hotkey adds what you say to your quick note without opening a window, so you don't have to hunt for a notes app or switch tabs first.
At home in every app
WhisPaste has no favourite app. Because the transcript is pasted at the cursor, it works wherever you already type: browser, email client, messenger, editor, search box. One voice input for your whole day, instead of one per program.
- Do I need any technical knowledge?
- No. On first launch you set a hotkey and the app downloads the speech model once (about 180 to 640 MB, depending on the tier). After that it is always the same flow: press, speak, done. Transcription runs offline on your machine by default: no account to create, no cloud service to connect.
- Does it work in WhatsApp Web, Slack, and Gmail?
- Yes. WhisPaste inserts the text wherever the cursor is blinking, no matter which app that is. Browser tabs like WhatsApp Web or Gmail, desktop apps like Slack or Outlook, your editor, or a plain search box all work the same way.
- What does WhisPaste cost?
- Nothing. WhisPaste is open source under the MIT license and fully usable for free, with offline transcription, history, and Voice Snippets. Buying it in the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store supports development and brings updates through the Store. Store builds share the core features of the free GitHub version; the Mac App Store build leaves out two macOS-internal fallbacks (AppleScript-based pasting and the permission repair tool).
