Premium dictation for macOS
Most dictation apps run one model. ZWhispr runs several of the best at the same time, reads the words on your screen, and learns your vocabulary. So the text that lands at your cursor is fast, clean, and correct.
$19/month. Every feature included. Nothing to configure.
Works wherever you type
How it works
Every time you speak, ZWhispr sends your audio to multiple state-of-the-art transcription models at once. It intelligently merges their answers using the context of what you are working on, and never waits on the slowest one.
You say
“Schedule the Soniox sync for Thursday and loop in Priya.”

The lineup right now
Updated September 2026. The lineup changes whenever something better ships, with no update on your side.
Put your cursor in any text field. Slack, Mail, Cursor, Notion, a terminal. Anywhere you would normally type.
Speak the way you think. Do not worry about punctuation, filler words, or changing your mind halfway through.
Clean, correctly spelled text appears at your cursor. No copy, no paste, no fixing names afterwards.
Zero compromise
Most dictation apps pick one model and hope for the best. ZWhispr is built for people who cannot afford a wrong name in an email or a five-second stall in a meeting.
Each speech model has its own blind spots. ZWhispr merges the output of several state-of-the-art models, using your dictionary and the context on your screen to decide which reading is right wherever they differ. One model’s slip gets corrected by the others. The result is a lower error rate than any single model can deliver on its own.
Because your audio is already with several models, a slow response from one provider simply gets left behind. That cuts the long tail that makes dictation feel laggy: your P95 and P99 latency drop, not just the average.
With your permission, ZWhispr takes a quick look at the window you are working in and pulls out the distinctive words: names, tickets, product terms, code identifiers. Those hints go to the models with your audio, so “Kubernetes” and “Priya” come out spelled the way they appear on your screen.
Add the words that matter to you once: your team’s names, your company’s jargon, the acronyms only your industry uses. Correct a word and ZWhispr remembers. Your vocabulary follows you into every app.
Filler words, false starts, and “wait, I mean” corrections are cleaned up automatically. You get natural sentences with proper punctuation, not a transcript of your thinking out loud.
You never pick a model or install an update to get a better one. ZWhispr uses the current state-of-the-art from leading third-party providers and swaps in stronger models as they ship. Your setup stays the same. Your accuracy keeps climbing.
Privacy
ZWhispr processes what you say and what is on your screen to transcribe it, then lets it go. We are specific about what we keep and what we never keep.
Pricing
Running several premium models on every recording costs more than running one cheap one. We think your words are worth it. There is no light tier, no model add-ons, and no “pro” toggle. Every ZWhispr user gets the best we have.

FAQ
The opposite. The models run in parallel, not one after another, so the round trip is only as long as the fastest useful answer. When one provider has a slow moment, ZWhispr proceeds without it. That is what shrinks the worst-case P95 and P99 latency you actually feel.
Different models make different mistakes. ZWhispr merges their transcripts intelligently, using your dictionary and the context on your screen to pick the right reading wherever they differ. A slip from one model gets corrected instead of ending up in your email.
When you enable it, ZWhispr takes a screenshot of the window you are working in at the moment you start speaking and extracts the distinctive words on it. Those words are sent along with your audio as vocabulary hints. It is optional and you grant the permission in macOS.
No. ZWhispr always uses the current state-of-the-art models from leading third-party providers and upgrades them for you. There is nothing to select or tune.
We never store your transcripts or your screen context. Both are used to produce the transcription in front of you and then discarded. We do store your dictionary words and the account and usage metadata needed to run the service.
