I honestly couldn’t justify paying for another ai tool subscription, so I built this one myself.
OpenWispr, is an open source speech-to-text tool that runs 100% locally and helps you write 3-5x faster than typing.
It's especially helpful for prompting in ChatGPT, Claude and/or Cursor but really I use it for everything. I have found that LLMs are able to match your tone more closely when you speak to them, rather than when you type (as it forces you to articulate yourself more and you edit out your natural tone).
It's completely free if you clone the repo and run it yourself, otherwise for a small contribution you get access to automatic updates as they roll out.
Try it out and let me know what you think! DM me if you need help setting it up :)

@gabe_stein Congrats on the launch! A local, open source voice-to-text tool sounds incredibly useful for faster prompting and writing.

@kraten Appreciate it! Give it a try and let me know what you think :)
AltPage.ai
Wow, running everything locally without sending my voice data anywhere? That’s huge—I’m always sketchy about cloud stuff. Love that you let us edit the system prompt too!

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai appreciate it! Let me know if you neee any help setting it up :)
Product Hunt
This is super awesome. I actually really wanted a local version of @Aqua Voice and this might be the answer. @gabe_stein awesome job. How does it compare in terms of speed & accuracy agains @Wispr Flow or @Aqua Voice ?
Getting it as I type!
OpenWhispr
@gabe I’d say pretty much the same! Especially if you use the cloud processing :) we’re all using the same models in the background!
OpenWispr runs fully offline and converts speech to text fast — feels efficient and private.
Was looking for this for long time. Thank you.
Can you add model API providers with free limits eg. Groq and Gemini?
OpenWhispr
you can bring your own API key! Will add Groq and Gemini as options soon :) right now it is OpenAI and Anthropic.
@gabe_stein Thanks. Also would love to see exe file along with the mac installers.

Congrats!!!
You deserve a follow!

Running speech-to-text 100% local and open source is genius, tbh—no more worrying about privacy or lag. Super hyped to try this out, props to the team!
