wispa is AI dictation for your Mac.
Hold a key, speak, and clean, finished text lands wherever your cursor is.
Works everywhere you already type
Auto edits
From the way you talk to the way you write.
You ramble. wispa listens for what you meant, drops the filler, fixes the order, and sets it in clean type. The same thought, finished.
Modes
One voice. Every tone.
Say it once. wispa formats it for where it is going, an email, a Slack message, a commit, a note. An optional AI step with your own key does the styling; plain transcription never needs one.
Use cases
Four ways people talk to their Mac.
Short, real recordings of wispa in daily work. Pick the one that looks like your day.
For developers
Talk to Claude Code.
Agentic prompts get long. Speaking them beats typing, and wispa drops your words straight into Claude Code, Cursor, or any terminal.
Private by design
Your words never have to leave your Mac.
Choose a local model and wispa transcribes everything on-device with Whisper and Metal. No audio upload, no account, nothing to log into. Want cloud speed or AI cleanup? Bring your own key. You decide where every word goes.
- Works offline No Wi-Fi, no problem. Local models run on Apple Silicon.
- On-device by default Audio is processed and discarded on your Mac.
- Cloud is your choice Your own OpenAI, Groq or Anthropic key. Only if you want it.

The math
About four times faster than typing.
wispa would give you back about every week.
That is roughly a year.
Based on ~40 wpm typing vs ~150 speaking, 5 days a week.
From the beta
People do not go back to the keyboard.
I draft three times the email in half the time. My hands stopped aching by Friday.
I have arthritis. wispa gave me back long-form writing without the pain. That is not a small thing.
Dictating prompts to my coding agent is the unlock. I talk, it builds. The terminal never felt this fast.
AI native
Don't take our word for it. Ask Claude.
wispa drops your voice straight into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code. So ask one of them what wispa is, and whether it is worth it.
What is wispa and should I use it on my Mac?
