Why engineers choose Speaky

If you've ever searched for offline speech to text for Windows or a private voice typing tool that doesn't phone home, you know the options are slim. Most speech recognition software sends your voice to the cloud. Speaky doesn't. It runs completely offline using Whisper AI, right on your machine. No internet connection needed, no data collected, no subscription fees. Just a one-time purchase and it's yours forever. Whether you need offline translation between 90+ languages, fast dictation into Slack or VS Code, or a secure voice-to-text tool for sensitive work — Speaky was built for exactly that.

Got questions? I've got answers.

Why does Windows flag the installer?

Totally normal! Speaky is a new app. Windows Defender flags anything it hasn't seen a million times yet. Just click "More info" → "Run anyway" and you're good.

Does Speaky need internet?

Nope. Zero, zilch. Everything runs on your machine. Airplane mode? No problem.

What languages are supported?

90+ languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and way more. Full list in the app settings.

How does Speaky compare to Dragon NaturallySpeaking?

Dragon is powerful but costs $699+, requires cloud processing, and doesn't do translation. Speaky is £25 one-time, completely offline, and translates between 90+ languages. For privacy-conscious users on Windows, Speaky is the better fit.

How is Speaky different from Google Voice Typing?

Google Voice Typing is cloud-based — your voice data gets sent to Google's servers. Speaky processes everything locally on your computer. Zero data leaves your machine. Plus, Speaky works in any application, not just the browser.

Can Speaky replace Windows built-in dictation?

Yes. Windows Dictation sends data to Microsoft and has limited language support. Speaky is completely offline with 90+ languages, smart cleanup, custom vocabulary, and translation built in.

Is it really a one-time payment?

Yep. Pay once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no surprise charges. I hate those too.
