Product capabilities

A serious writing tool, not a toy transcription widget.

Everything you need to replace typing with speaking — without sacrificing privacy or speed.

Private by default

Audio is processed on your Mac. No account wall, no hidden cloud relay, no surveillance UX. Your voice never leaves your machine unless you choose to.

Fast enough for flow

Hold your shortcut, speak naturally, and get polished text where your cursor already is. Under 500ms end-to-end. It feels like the words just appear.

Messy speech to clean writing

Filler words, awkward pauses, and rough phrasing get cleaned up into readable text instantly. You ramble. It polishes.

System-wide hotkey

Use it in docs, terminal tools, chat apps, ticketing systems, and your browser with one shortcut. If you can type there, TurboWhisper works there.

Multilingual dictation

Speak in 30+ languages with automatic detection. Context switching between languages happens without friction or manual configuration.

Built for real workflows

Designed for operators, developers, founders, and support teams who type all day long. Not a toy. A tool you depend on.
