Freemium

What is Whisper by Remskill?

Whisper by Remskill is a desktop voice typing app for Windows 10 and 11 and Apple Silicon Macs. You hold a global hotkey, speak, release, and the transcript is pasted wherever your cursor sits, in apps such as Word, Gmail, Slack or a code editor. Two local engines ship in the installer: OpenAI's Whisper, covering 99 languages with translate-to-English, and NVIDIA Parakeet, which the vendor says runs 5 to 10 times faster on CPU for English and 24 European languages. The free tier is the full local stack with unlimited transcription, custom vocabulary, filler-word removal, history and AI rewrites through a local Ollama model, with nothing leaving your device. Whisper Pro adds a cloud layer using your own OpenAI key: OpenAI transcription models, cloud AI rewrites and web search by voice. Pro costs $9.99/month, $79.99/year or $69 once for lifetime.
