Whisper and Parakeet models process audio directly on your PC — powered by CPU or NVIDIA GPU.
Formatted text with automatic punctuation and capitalization appears directly where your cursor is positioned.
Engineered for maximum performance, data privacy, and instant response.
When choosing local models, audio never leaves your PC. Zero external cloud servers, hidden logging, or telemetry.
