What is SpeechPulse?
SpeechPulse is an offline voice typing and speech recognition application that uses OpenAI's Whisper AI models to convert your voice into text in real time. It works with any text input area on your desktop computer, including text editors, web browsers, and office applications like Word and Outlook. The software operates entirely offline using your computer's CPU and GPU, meaning your voice and text data never leave your machine for ultimate privacy.
Key features include support for 99 languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and more), automatic and manual punctuation modes, push-to-talk mode with customizable hotkeys, and automatic speech input that starts transcription when you finish dictating. SpeechPulse also supports file mode with speaker diarization for transcribing audio files (mp3, wav, m4a, flac, ogg, webm), subtitle generation with accurate timestamps in .srt and .vtt formats, AI templates for grammar correction and text summarization using LLM APIs, and training new words in Version 10.
SpeechPulse is ideal for writers who need to produce large volumes of text, executives wanting to boost productivity, people with disabilities who struggle with manual typing, privacy-conscious users who don't want their data sent online, and anyone who wants to type faster by speaking at their natural speaking pace rather than typing speed.
The software is available for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and Apple Silicon Macs, with a 30-day free trial before purchase. It requires Windows 10 64-bit version 1809 or later or Windows 11 for Windows users.
