It also transcribes meetings with speaker diarization, keeps searchable notes, offers a Voice Assistant hotkey that sends commands to GPT, Claude, Gemini or local models, and has a public API and MCP server.

How do I use it? Download the app for your platform, or on macOS run brew install --cask openwhispr; then choose a local speech-to-text model such as Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet; set your global dictation hotkey. Full steps below.
