OmniWhisperX
macOS & Windows · menu-bar utility

Press a key. Speak. Text appears.

A floating pill, a global hotkey, and your dictation lands in whatever app you were typing in — TextEdit, Slack, Cursor, anywhere. Local Whisper is free forever. Sign in and start a 7-day free trial to unlock cloud transcription and LLM polish from OpenAI, Google, and ElevenLabs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Hotkey

    Press ⌘⌥W from any app. The soundwave pill appears at the bottom of your screen. It never steals keyboard focus.

  2. 2

    Speak

    Bars on the pill dance with your voice. Talk naturally — the pipeline handles silence and breath like a real assistant should.

  3. 3

    Tap

    Click the pill (or hit the hotkey again). Your speech routes to your chosen provider, comes back as text, and lands at the cursor of the app you were in.

Download

Pricing

Sign in with Google, Microsoft, Apple, or Facebook — no password to manage. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial (no charge until it ends). Your subscription is tied to your account, so it works on every device you sign in on. Plus, you still pay the provider directly for the few cents of transcription you actually use.

Bring your own API key. We never see your audio. Cloud transcription costs ~$0.35/month for a typical user, paid directly to the provider.

Why this exists

Wispr Flow charges $15/month. Superwhisper charges $107/year. Both bundle the cloud STT cost into their subscription — you can't avoid the inference margin even if you barely use the app. OmniWhisperX keeps the subscription thin and lets you pay the provider directly for the few cents of transcription you actually consume. The app never touches your audio or your keys, and local Whisper stays free forever.
