A note from the developer
I built Wisperbird because I wanted voice-to-text without paying for one more subscription.
It started as an internal tool for my own work. Once it had grown into a real app, the obvious business model was a monthly plan. That felt wrong, because avoiding another subscription was the reason I built it in the first place.
I don't think speech-to-text should come with a monthly bill. So Wisperbird works offline with Local Whisper and costs $19 once.
Hold one key, speak naturally, and your cleaned-up words land in any text field. Choose private local transcription or connect your own online providers.
