Voice to text on your Mac, with one key
Tap a key, speak, and your words appear in the app you're already in — no copy-paste, no switching windows.
Ultra Whisper turns speech into text right on your Mac. The default local Whisper model runs on-device; add your own OpenAI or Groq key only if you want cloud accuracy.
Built for everyday writing
One key from any app
A quick tap of your hotkey starts recording — Mail, Slack, your editor, anywhere.
Your words, your Mac
Local transcription means audio never leaves the device unless you choose a cloud model.
Clean, ready text
Optional LLM cleanup removes filler and fixes grammar, or keep the transcript verbatim.

Speak naturally
Ultra Whisper transcribes on your Mac, and optionally cleans up the text with an LLM.

It's pasted for you
Your finished text lands in the frontmost app, ready to send.
