The moment
Typing is a tax on every thought. Your voice is not.
If your hands, wrists, or shoulders set the limit on your workday, typing is a tax on every thought. Dictation is not a workaround here - for a lot of people it is simply faster, and it is how the words keep flowing on days the keyboard cannot.
- You say
- “Draft the agenda for Friday - budget review first, then the hiring update, fifteen minutes each.”
- It lands as
- The text where your cursor is, typed by your voice - your hands stay off the keyboard and the work still gets done.
No template needed - every template works hands-free - the break is the point.

How it plays out
Four beats, no typing.

Put your cursor where the text goes
Any Mac app with a text field: mail, chat, a doc, a form. WhisperWizard remembers which app was in front.
- 2
Press ⌥⇧Space and talk
Plain dictation, no template. Or press any template hotkey to shape the words on the way in.
- 3
Press ⌥Esc to stop
Whisper transcribes on your OpenAI account and the text comes straight back.
- 4
It lands, your clipboard comes back
The text is pasted where your cursor was, your previous clipboard is restored, and History keeps both versions with the audio.

Tips
Get more from every take.
Toggle, not hold
Press the shortcut once to start and once to stop. You never keep a key held down while you talk.
One key does the whole loop
A template hotkey records, rewrites and pastes, so the edit pass happens without the keyboard too.
Rebind to what is comfortable
Every shortcut can be changed in Settings, so pick combinations that suit your hands.
Questions
Asked out loud.
Can I use it without touching the keyboard at all?
Almost. You press a shortcut to start and another to stop (⌥⇧Space and ⌥Esc by default, or one template hotkey), and you can rebind them. Everything between those two presses is your voice.
Is WhisperWizard an accessibility or medical product?
No. It is a dictation app for the Mac. If your hands or wrists set the limit on your day, it can mean far fewer keystrokes, but it is not a treatment and makes no medical claim.
Five more
Other ways to skip the typing.

Emails and replies
Dictate the reply you would have typed and get polished text back, ready to send.

Documents and drafts
Get a first draft out of your head and onto the page, then refine it with a custom template.

Writing in another language
Speak in one language and let a template translate or reshape your words for you.

Notes and journaling
Capture thoughts the moment they happen - every recording is kept for instant replay.

Repeatable workflows
Bind your own prompts to shortcuts so routine writing tasks take one hotkey.
WhisperWizard is macOS only (10.13 or newer on Intel, 11 or newer on Apple Silicon) and runs on your own OpenAI API key - your recordings go straight to OpenAI, we never see or store them on our servers (History keeps its copy on your Mac). The honest comparison says when built-in dictation is already enough.

Every plan includes unlimited custom templates, recording history, and all features - one-time purchase, lifetime usage, and a 14-day money‑back guarantee.
