OpenWhispr The open-source and free alternative to WisprFlow and Granola. Privacy-first voice-to-text dictation with AI agents, meeting transcription, and notes. Cross-platform for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Website · Docs · Download · API · Changelog --- OpenWhispr turns your voice into text, notes, and actions from your desktop. Press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear at your cursor. Choose between fully private offline transcription with local speech-to-text models like Orukeet, Whisper, NVIDIA Parakeet, and Cohere Transcribe — where your audio never leaves your device — or cloud processing for speed.

Meetings still record and transcribe normally, and notes search falls back to keyword matching instead of semantic search. On macOS or x86_64 Linux, you can also install the community-maintained Homebrew cask: bash brew install --cask openwhispr Features - Voice dictation — global hotkey to dictate into any app with automatic pasting - Dictation translation — dedicated hotkey to dictate in one language and paste the text in another - AI agent — talk to GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Groq, Tinfoil, OpenRouter, or local models with a named voice assistant - Voice Assistant hotkey — dedicated hotkey that sends what you say straight to your AI assistan
