Lispr is now on Windows

Lispr started as a Mac app: hold a key, say your piece, let go — and your words are typed wherever your cursor is. Today the same thing exists for Windows, and you can download it now.

What you get

Hold the right Ctrl key and speak. Release it, and your text lands at the cursor — in Slack, Word, the browser, your IDE, anywhere a cursor blinks. No window to switch to, no record button, no copy-paste.

It's the same engine as the Mac original: Whisper running on an edge network, with ~99 languages detected automatically. Speak Ukrainian in one sentence and English in the next — Lispr keeps up without touching a setting.

Translation is built in, too. Mid-speech, press a second key, and Lispr types the translation instead of the verbatim text. Say it in your language; send it in theirs.

What made it into version one

We didn't want a stripped-down port, so the Windows app ships with the features people actually use on the Mac:

Custom vocabulary. Lispr learns the names Whisper tends to mishear — your brand, your clients, your jargon — and quietly corrects them.
History. Every dictation is kept locally; reopen, copy or re-insert anything from the hub window.
Formatting modes. Optional Light and Concise modes break your speech into clean paragraphs and lists, or trim the fillers too. Off by default.
A quiet footprint. It's a tray app with one hub window for settings. Native C# and WPF — not Electron — so the installer is about 8 MB.

The boring parts, done properly

The installer is code-signed through Microsoft's Azure Trusted Signing, so SmartScreen shows a verified publisher — "Codebridge Technology, Inc." — instead of a warning. Updates arrive as small background deltas via Velopack; you install once and stay current.

Privacy works the way it does on the Mac: your audio travels over an encrypted connection, gets transcribed, and is discarded. Nothing is stored on a server, nothing trains a model, and there is no account to create.

The honest print

The Windows app is younger than the Mac one. We shipped thirteen Windows releases before writing this post — using it ourselves, fixing what broke — and updates will keep landing often. If something doesn't behave, it will usually be fixed within days; the changelog shows the pace.

It needs Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit, and an internet connection — transcription runs in the cloud, which is why it's fast and accurate.

Try it

Lispr is free while it's in early access, on both platforms. Download Lispr for Windows — it's an 8 MB installer and about a minute from download to first dictation. On a Mac? The original is right here.

If you try it and something feels off, tell us — that's what early access is for.
