Workflow
Type anywhere
Dictate in any application. Text is copied to your clipboard for pasting into Word, email, browser forms, or code editors.
Offline voice typing
Voice typing offline for Windows
PrivaSpeech lets you type with your voice without an internet connection. After downloading the AI model once and activating your license, voice typing works entirely on your Windows PC.
How it compares to Windows Voice Typing
Windows 11 includes built-in voice typing (Win+H), but depending on your settings, it may use cloud processing. Here's how PrivaSpeech differs:
| Feature | PrivaSpeech | Windows Voice Typing |
|---|---|---|
| Processing location | Always local | May use cloud (varies by settings) |
| Works fully offline | Yes (after setup and activation) | Depends on Windows version/settings |
| Global hotkey | Customizable (default: Ctrl+Space) | Win+H |
| Clipboard integration | Auto-copies to clipboard | Types directly into field |
| AI model | Parakeet V3 (downloaded locally) | Microsoft's models |
Speed
Talk faster than you type
Many people speak faster than they type. Voice typing can significantly speed up drafting long documents or emails.
Comfort
Reduce strain
Give your hands a break during long writing sessions. Alternate between typing and dictation.
How voice typing works in PrivaSpeech
Default is Ctrl+Space. You can change it in settings to another key combination you prefer.
Talk at a normal pace. The AI model handles common English well. Specialized terms may need occasional corrections.
Recording stops and transcription begins. Processing happens locally on your CPU.
Text is automatically copied to your clipboard. Press Ctrl+V to paste wherever you need it.
Common voice typing uses
Speak your message, paste into your email client, then edit and send. Often faster than typing from scratch.
Draft reports, meeting notes, or journal entries by speaking. Clean up punctuation and formatting afterward.
Quickly compose longer messages in Slack, Teams, or other chat apps by dictating instead of typing.
Speed up filling long text fields on web forms or applications.
About accuracy
Voice typing accuracy depends on your microphone quality, background noise, and speaking clarity. A decent USB headset in a quiet room produces the best results. Expect to do some light editing, especially for punctuation and proper nouns.
