Windows 10/11 (64-bit) · Free tier: 7 transcriptions/day
Most dictation tools send your voice to cloud servers. Every client name, case detail, and strategy is transmitted over the internet.
Cloud-based transcription creates confidentiality risks. Third-party servers handling privileged communications can compromise your ethical obligations.
In courtrooms, client meetings, or remote depositions with poor connectivity, cloud dictation fails when you need it most.
Whisper Dictator processes all audio locally on your computer. Client information never leaves your machine - protecting attorney-client privilege.
Professional-grade transcription that respects client confidentiality and your workflow.

GPU acceleration for instant transcription. No waiting for cloud responses between tasks.
Try with 7 free transcriptions per day. Test in your workflow before committing.
Beyond live dictation, transcribe recorded depositions, hearings, and client calls from a file, on your own workstation. Nothing uploads.
Download the installer, run the 5-minute setup wizard. One-time setup on your workstation.
Click in Word or your case management system, hold the hotkey, and speak naturally.
Release the key. Your dictation is transcribed locally and typed into your document.
