About Mac Wisper – AI voice-to-text for macOS

Air Wisper is a native macOS voice-to-text application that uses on-device Apple Speech Recognition for transcription. It processes audio entirely on the Mac without sending voice data to the cloud, then applies AI text polish to remove filler words, fix grammar, and add punctuation. The resulting clean text is typed directly into any active application such as Slack, Mail, Notion, VS Code, or a browser. Designed as a lightweight menu bar app built in Swift, it uses under 50MB of RAM and launches in less than a second. Air Wisper supports 14+ languages with downloadable on-device models and keeps a local transcription history with timestamps, word count, and app context. It is free to start and requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs.
