AI dictation for Windows

Your voice, written.

Press a hotkey and talk. Whurd turns speech into clean, formatted text and pastes it right where your cursor is, in about 300 milliseconds.

Works in every app you already use.

If you can click into it, you can talk into it.

See it work

The whole product in 30 seconds.

Real app, real screens, 30 seconds.

How it works

Three steps. One keystroke.

No window to open, no record button to hunt for. Whurd lives behind a hotkey and stays out of your way.

01 / PRESS

Press your hotkey

From any app. A quiet pill appears at the bottom of your screen, and your window never loses focus.

Ctrl+Shift+Space
02 / SPEAK

Talk naturally

Ums, false starts, "scratch that" and all. Whurd listens for meaning, not perfect diction.

03 / DONE

Clean text lands

Filler removed, punctuation fixed, styled for the app you're in. It pastes at your cursor and you keep moving.

Let's ship the caching fix today. Pasted

Per-app styles

Same words. Right tone for the room.

Whurd knows which app you're in and formats accordingly: casual in chat, structured in email, terse in a commit message.

You said "um can we push the release to thursday, QA found a focus bug in the overlay and uh I don't wanna ship it half fixed"

Can we push the release to Thursday? QA found a focus bug in the overlay and I don't want to ship it half-fixed.
Hi team,

Could we move the release to Thursday? QA found a focus bug in the overlay, and I'd rather not ship it half-fixed.

Thanks,
Ben
chore(release): move to Thursday

QA found a focus bug in the overlay. Holding the train
until the fix lands rather than shipping it half-fixed.

Inside the app

Built like a tool.
Quietly obsessed with your words.

Watch the hours come back.

Every dictation feeds your Voice Profile: time saved versus typing, words written, streaks, and achievements. All of it computed on your machine.

  • Time saved measured against a 40 WPM typing baseline
  • Activity heatmap of your dictation habit
  • Achievements that make the habit stick

Set it once. Speak anywhere.

A toggle hotkey, hold-to-talk, or a hands-free lock for long dictations. Whurd starts with Windows and waits in the tray until you need it.

  • Hold-to-talk with a keep-going lock key
  • Soft audio cues when recording starts and stops
  • Esc to cancel whenever the mic is hot

Teach Whurd your product names, teammates, and jargon once. They come out right every time, in both transcription and formatting.

  • Custom vocabulary biases the whole pipeline
  • Snippets: say "insert my sign-off", paste a saved block
  • 99 languages, one hotkey

Every word, a search away.

Each dictation is saved locally and searchable, tagged with the app and style it was written for. Copy anything back with one click.

  • Full-text search across everything you've said
  • Stored on your machine, never on ours
  • Privacy Mode keeps history off-disk entirely

Privacy

Your voice doesn't stick around.

No data theater. Here is exactly what happens to your audio and your words.

Audio is transcribed, then discarded

Your voice is converted to text and dropped. Never stored, never used to train models.

History stays on your machine

Dictations and stats live in a local folder you control, not on our servers.

Training opt-in is off by default

We don't train on your content unless you explicitly turn that on yourself.

Privacy Mode on every plan

Flip it on and history never touches disk. Included in the free tier.

Every third-party processor is named in the privacy policy. Encrypted in transit, and a HIPAA-ready BAA is available on Enterprise.
