    Why Whisperer

    Built for developers and power users who need fast, reliable dictation.

    Hold-to-talk. Release-to-insert.

    No copy/paste steps. No switching apps. Just speak into the active cursor.

    Doesn't trigger by accident.

    Smart Fn combo filtering prevents accidental recordings when using brightness/volume keys.

    Your voice stays on your Mac.

    No accounts. No servers. No audio uploads.

    Pro Pack Feature

    Built for heavy typing and fast switching

    Power features for developers and professionals who dictate all day.

    Code Mode

    Pro

    Speak symbols, casing, and structure correctly in IDEs and terminals.

    • Speak punctuation and symbols: parentheses, brackets, braces, quotes, commas, semicolons
    • Casing commands: camelCase, snake_case, CONSTANT_CASE
    • Literal mode for identifiers (stop 'helpful' autocorrections)
    • Cleaner spacing around operators and punctuation

    How Whisperer works

    Three simple steps to effortless dictation.

    01

    Hold your key

    Hold Fn or your chosen shortcut to start recording.

    02

    Speak naturally

    See a live preview and waveform while you talk.

    03

    Release to insert

    On release, Whisperer refines the final text and inserts it into the focused field.

    Streaming during recording + a final pass on release for maximum accuracy.

    Works in the apps you already use

    Insertion uses Accessibility APIs with a paste fallback for compatibility.

    One-time setup (required by macOS)

    Whisperer needs macOS permissions to listen for your shortcut and insert text into other apps. This is standard for system-wide productivity tools.

    Microphone

    Used to record your voice.

    Accessibility

    Used to insert text into the active field.

    Input Monitoring

    Used to detect your shortcut globally.

    Step 1
    Install from App Store
    Step 2
    Grant permissions
    Step 3
    Ready to go!

    Whisperer does not transmit audio. Permissions only enable local dictation and insertion.
