Built for everyone Apple Dictation forgot.

You speak. The software doesn't get it. You repeat. It gets it wrong differently. You give up — or you flatten your accent into something it understands.

Wispr Flow, Apple Dictation, Win+H — all tested on American English. If you speak with an Indian, Filipino, Spanish, Arabic, Nigerian, Chinese, French, German, or any other accent, you've been adapting your voice to the software for years. That's backwards.

Heard Right runs Whisper locally on your machine, with accent presets and custom vocabulary built in. Your dialect, your jargon, your brand names — captured the first time, without sending audio to anyone's cloud.

Why local matters.

Cloud dictation makes three trades you didn't agree to. Heard Right doesn't make them.

🔒

Your voice stays here

Audio is processed on your device. Nothing uploaded, nothing logged, nothing trained on without your consent. Cloud is opt-in, never default.

Works offline

Plane, train, café WiFi, rural village. No connection, no problem. Whisper turbo runs entirely on your CPU or GPU.

One price, forever

$49 lifetime for the first 200 customers. No subscription required. No daily limits. No sudden price hikes when you're locked in.

Questions.

Why local instead of cloud?

Three reasons: your audio stays on your machine (privacy), it works offline (reliability), and you don't pay forever for something that should be a one-time purchase (cost). The only real advantage of cloud is speed on slower hardware — and we offer that as an opt-in subscription, never as the default.

Which accents are supported?

Launching with 10 presets: Indian, Filipino, Singaporean, Spanish-accented, Arabic-accented, Nigerian, Chinese-accented, French-accented, German-accented, and neutral American English. More based on customer requests. You can also create custom presets with your own vocabulary list.

Which languages, native speakers?

Whisper natively supports 99 languages. Heard Right exposes all of them: Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Swahili, and more. Switch language with one click.

Does it really work offline?

Yes. Whisper turbo and the accent presets are bundled with the app. Once installed, it runs entirely on your CPU or GPU. The only network usage is for license validation on first launch and updates.

What about iOS and Android?

Coming after the desktop launch is stable. iOS will be a custom keyboard extension. Android will be a custom IME. Both included in Cloud Pro; standalone purchase available.

Hardware requirements?

Any modern Windows PC from the last 5 years. Whisper turbo runs on CPU acceptably and on NVIDIA GPUs near-instantly. ~2GB disk space, 4GB RAM headroom while transcribing.

Refund policy?

14 days, no questions asked. If accent recognition for your dialect isn't good enough, full refund.

Why "lifetime" instead of subscription?

Local software has no ongoing cost to run on your machine. Charging you forever for a one-time install is a business model choice, not a technical necessity. Cloud is a real recurring cost; that's why Cloud Pro is a subscription. Local stays a one-time purchase.

Who builds this?

One indie maker, no VC, no investors. Built because every existing tool butchered a real Indian English accent. The product is the protest.
