Introducing Spoken: The Privacy-First Voice Dictation Tool for Windows

In a world where every keystroke and spoken word seems to be uploaded to a cloud server somewhere, privacy has become a luxury. We believe it should be a standard.

That's why we built Spoken.

Spoken is a professional-grade speech-to-text application designed specifically for Windows users who value their privacy as much as their productivity.

The Problem with Cloud Dictation

Most popular dictation tools today operate on a simple premise:

  1. You speak.
  2. Your audio is sent to a server.
  3. A large AI model processes it.
  4. Text is sent back to you.

While this works, it introduces latency, requires an internet connection, and—most critically—hands over your voice data to third parties. For professionals discussing sensitive business strategies, lawyers drafting contracts, or anyone who simply values their digital sovereignty, this is a compromise they shouldn't have to make.

The Spoken Solution

Spoken runs entirely on your local machine. We leverage the power of modern Whisper AI models, optimized to run efficiently on your laptop or desktop CPU/GPU.

Key Benefits

  • 100% Private: Your voice data never leaves your computer. Period.
  • Offline Capable: Dictate on a plane, in a remote cabin, or during an internet outage.
  • Zero Latency: No waiting for server round-trips.
  • One-Time Purchase: We dislike subscription fatigue as much as you do. One payment, lifetime access.

Who is Spoken For?

We designed Spoken for:

  • Writers & Authors: Draft chapters at the speed of thought.
  • Developers: Quickly dictate documentation or comments.
  • Students: Transcribe lectures or dictate essays.
  • Privacy Advocates: Anyone who wants the convenience of AI without the surveillance.

Spoken is available now for Windows 10 and 11. You can try it completely free for 7 days to see if it fits your workflow.
