The pipeline
How It Works
Record, transcribe, run your prompt, paste at the cursor. Four beats in the pipeline, no server of ours.

Up and Running in Three Steps.

Get Your License
One-time purchase, lifetime usage: every plan includes all features and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Download and Add Your OpenAI API Key
WhisperWizard runs on your own OpenAI API key, so your recordings go straight to OpenAI: we never see or store them on our servers. The Mac app keeps its own History of your recordings on your Mac.

Press the Shortcut and Speak
Hit ⌥⇧Space to dictate, or ⌃⌥1 to run a template in the same keystroke. Talk naturally and get polished text ready to use anywhere on your Mac.
The data path
Where your voice goes, all of it
WhisperWizard servers: none. We never see your audio, your text or your templates.
Your Mac
Records while you speak. History stays here.
Your OpenAI account
Whisper transcribes, then your template's prompt runs. Billed to you.
Your cursor
Pasted where you were typing. Clipboard put back.
Every outbound call the app makes
- OpenAI: your transcription and templates, on your key
- Lemon Squeezy: the license check
- GitHub: app updates
