AI dictation for Windows
Stop typing.
Start talking.
Press a hotkey, speak into any Windows app, and Whurd pastes back clean, app-aware text: filler removed, punctuation fixed, formatted for wherever you're writing. It transcribes in ~300ms, then polishes the words so they read like you meant to write them.
um so yeah I think we should uh ship the caching fix today, like, the p95 is you know way too high and uh customers are noticing for sure
Let's ship the caching fix today. P95 latency is too high and customers are noticing. Pasted into Slack
Works everywhere you already type.
Any text field on Windows. If you can click into it, you can talk into it.
By the clock
4x faster than typing.
By the clock, not the brochure.
Whurd turns speech into text in about 300 milliseconds, and cleans it up while you breathe. Measured against an honest 40 WPM typing baseline, you're writing at the speed you think.
Baseline: 40 WPM average sustained typing · Voice: 150+ WPM comfortable speech
~300ms transcription · filler & false starts removed before it ever hits your screen
The whole loop
Three steps. One keystroke.
No app to switch to, no record button to hunt for. It lives behind a hotkey and gets out of your way.
Press your hotkey.
Hit Ctrl+Shift+Space from anywhere. The dictation capsule lights up. No window steals focus, so you stay in the app you're already in.
Speak naturally.
Ums, false starts, "wait, scratch that" and all. Talk the way you actually talk. Whurd is listening for meaning, not perfect diction.
Clean text lands.
Polished text pastes straight into the active app, styled for it: crisp for Slack, formal for email, terse for a commit. You just keep working.
Personas
Made for the way you actually work.
Ship commit messages, prompts and tickets at speaking speed.
Dictate a precise commit message without leaving the terminal. Talk your way through a long Cursor or Copilot prompt instead of pecking it out. File a Jira ticket by describing the bug out loud, and Whurd keeps your code symbols and identifiers intact.
fix(cache): lower p95 by warming the edge on deploy
Draft long-form at the speed you think.
Founders and writers get the first draft out of their heads before the idea cools. Speak a whole paragraph and it lands as clean, readable prose with real punctuation and paragraph breaks. Edit later, but never stare at a blank page again.
We grew weekly active dictation 38% this quarter, mostly off the back of the per-app styling work that shipped in May.
Reply fast without sounding rushed.
Clear a support queue by talking through each reply. Whurd strips the "um, so what you'll want to do is" and leaves a polished, on-brand response. Empathy stays; filler goes.
Thanks for flagging this. I've reset your sync token, so try reconnecting and let me know if it sticks.
Hands-free writing that respects your wrists.
If typing hurts, whether from RSI, an injury, or just a long day, Whurd lets you write everything by voice, system-wide. One hotkey, no mouse gymnastics, no dictation mode buried in a single app. Command mode handles formatting so your hands can rest.
Hi Dana, attaching the revised deck. The pricing slide is the one that changed, so let me know your thoughts by Friday.
Speak comfortably. Read perfectly.
Say it in your own words and the grammar, articles and word order get fixed without flattening your meaning. Write English at native polish while thinking out loud at full speed.
I reviewed the proposal and have two concerns about the timeline. Could we discuss them in tomorrow's standup?
The moat
It doesn't transcribe. It writes.
Plain dictation gives you a wall of "um." Whurd gives you the sentence you meant.
Punctuation, capitalization and line breaks, all handled.
You speak in a run-on. It lands as a paragraph. Whurd adds the commas, splits the sentences and capitalizes the proper nouns so the text reads like you typed it carefully.
Removes um, uh & false starts.
"Wait, scratch that" disappears. The hesitations never reach your screen; only the cleaned-up intent does.
Your names & jargon.
Teach it your product names, teammates, acronyms and code symbols. It spells them right every time.
Crisp for Slack. Formal for email. Terse for a commit.
Whurd knows where you're writing and matches the register automatically: punchy in chat, structured in a doc, imperative in a commit message. Same voice, right tone for the room.
Talk to the formatting.
Say "make this a bulleted list" or "turn that into a numbered table" and it restructures on the fly.
Say a trigger, expand a block.
Map a spoken phrase to a saved signature, a standard reply or a boilerplate paragraph. Speak the shortcut, paste the whole thing.
99 languages, one hotkey.
Dictate in the language you think in. The engine handles the recognition; the AI writing layer handles the polish.
Privacy & security
Your voice doesn't stick around.
No data theater. Here's exactly what happens to your audio and your words.
Audio is transcribed, then discarded
Your audio is transcribed and discarded the moment it's converted to text. Never stored, never used to train models.
Your data stays local
Your settings and dictation history live on your machine, in your control, not on our servers.
Training opt-in is OFF by default
We don't train on your content. The AI-improvement opt-in ships disabled; you'd have to turn it on yourself.
No mystery vendors
Every third-party processor that ever touches your data is named in our privacy policy. No hidden sharing, no surprises. Read the policy.
Built for compliance reviews
Encrypted in transit, least-privilege keys, and a HIPAA-ready posture with a signed BAA available on Enterprise plans. SOC 2 certification is on our roadmap.
Privacy Mode in the free tier
Flip on Privacy Mode to keep history off-disk entirely. Available on every plan, including Starter.
In practice
What changes when you stop typing.
Illustrative scenarios, not customer endorsements. Names, roles, and results are representative of intended use.
"I dictate every commit message and PR description now. It keeps my code symbols intact and I stopped context-switching to 'write the words.' My hands hurt less by 5pm."
~2 hrs/week back · zero typos in identifiers
"As a non-native speaker I always second-guessed my emails. Now I just talk and the grammar comes out clean. My replies are faster and they sound like me, only better."
3x faster inbox · zero grammar anxiety
"The per-app styling is the whole thing. Slack reads casual, my investor update reads sharp."
"~300ms is not a marketing number. It genuinely feels instant. I forget it's there."
"I cleared a 40-ticket support queue in a morning. The filler removal is doing real work."
