We should keep the first release focused and easy to explain.

Let's share the beta with the design team on Thursday and collect feedback by Monday.

What runs where.

Dictation

Always on your Mac. Five speech models, 31 MB to 547 MB.

ON THIS MAC

Command

Apple On-Device by default. Five more local models if you want them.

ON THIS MAC

Cloud models

Optional. Your own OpenAI, Gemini, or Mistral key, billed to your account.

VIA API

Audio is never uploaded. History stays on your Mac. Cloud keys stay in macOS Keychain.

FIRST 120 MINUTES FREE
USD12.99

After that. Once, not monthly.

Dictate for two hours before paying anything. Local processing has no usage fee after that—optional API usage is billed by the provider, never by WhisperInk.

Questions.

Use Dictation when you want the words you say typed at your cursor. Use Command when you want WhisperInk to act on selected text, such as drafting a reply or rewriting a paragraph.

No. Dictation runs locally, and Command can use Apple On-Device or another local model. A cloud model is optional and uses your own key, stored in macOS Keychain and billed by its provider.

WhisperInk requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or newer. Local model availability can vary with your Mac and system configuration.

Your first 120 transcription minutes are free. USD 12.99 is a one-time unlock for Dictation, Command, and local processing; optional API usage is billed separately by the provider.
