Features

What Zen Whisper
is built to do.

The essentials, each built for one clear job.

⌨️ Dictate into the apps you already use

Hold a shortcut and Zen Whisper inserts text into most Mac text fields without forcing a separate editor or extra typing window.

🎧 Transcribe files, media, and public links

Transcribe uploaded audio, video, and supported public links in one place, then come back to searchable history when the job is done.

🔒 Keep core speech recognition on your Mac

Core speech recognition runs on your Mac with downloadable speech packs you choose and keep on-device, not a cloud recorder you must trust by default.

🌍 110 languages, ⚡ low latency, 🪶 light footprint

Support spans 100+ languages, the app is tuned for a low-latency feel on Apple Silicon, and Pro unlocks larger models, media workflows, rewrite tools, and translation where available.

Frequently asked
questions.

Short answers for the questions people ask most about Zen Whisper.

Which platforms does Zen Whisper support?

Zen Whisper is currently a native Apple Silicon Mac app for macOS 14 or later.

Can it type into any app?

It inserts text at the active typing cursor, so it works in most Mac apps where you can already type or paste.

Which languages are supported?

Zen Whisper currently exposes 110 spoken language options in the app, including Hindi, Hinglish, English regional variants, and many Indian, regional, and Western languages supported by the selected speech model.

Does audio leave my Mac?

Core speech recognition is designed to stay on your Mac. Optional network-backed features are separate and should be treated as opt-in; see the privacy policy for the exact data flow.

How is Pro priced?

Zen Whisper starts with a free 14-day trial and then stays usable with 3,000 words per week on the free tier. Paid seat packs are sold on Gumroad for 1 Mac, 2 Macs, 5 Macs, and 10 Macs. Each purchase includes a lifetime licence for that Mac bundle plus 1 year of updates, and existing customers can renew update access later at a discounted price.

How do I buy and activate Pro?

Download the app through Gumroad to start the free trial. When you upgrade to a paid tier, activate Zen Whisper Pro with your receipt email and Gumroad license key in Preferences.
