№ 001 System-wide dictation for Windows

Your voice, written.

Hold a hotkey and talk. Whurd takes down every word, strikes the stumbles, sets what's left in clean, finished prose, and lands it exactly where your cursor is. In any app on your machine.

§ 01An index of destinations

If you can click into it,
you can talk into it.

A partial index · every text field on Windows qualifies

§ 02The demonstration

Thirty seconds, real screens.

Hold the hotkey, talk naturally, and watch finished text land where you were already writing.

Plate I · The thirty-second demonstrationNo mockups were harmed

§ 03The method

Three motions.
One keystroke.

No window to open, no record button to hunt for. Speak once, and Whurd shapes the text for wherever it lands.

i.

Hold your hotkey

Start from the app you're already in. A quiet pill appears, and your window keeps focus.

Ctrl+Win
ii.

Talk naturally

Ums, false starts, and quick corrections are fine. Whurd listens for meaning, not perfect diction.

iii.

Finished text lands

It can paste as a sentence, bullets, a quote, or a tighter note depending on what you're writing.

§ 04One voice, three settings

Same words.
Right tone for the room.

Say it once. Whurd sets it for chat, email, or a commit without making you rewrite yourself.

You said "um can we push the release to thursday, QA found a focus bug in the overlay and uh I don't wanna ship it half fixed"

#release-train
Can we push the release to Thursday? QA found a focus bug in the overlay and I don't want to ship it half-fixed.
Hi team,

Could we move the release to Thursday? QA found a focus bug in the overlay, and I'd rather not ship it half-fixed.

Thanks,
Ben
chore(release): move to Thursday

QA found a focus bug in the overlay. Holding the train
until the fix lands rather than shipping it half-fixed.
§ 05Inside the app

Built like a tool.
Quietly obsessed with your words.

Watch the hours come back.

Every dictation feeds your Voice Profile: time saved versus typing, words written, streaks, and achievements. All of it computed on your machine.

  • Time saved40 WPM baseline
  • Activity heatmap of your dictation habit
  • Achievements that make the habit stick

Set it once. Speak anywhere.

A toggle hotkey, hold-to-talk, or a hands-free lock for long dictations. Rebind it to whatever your fingers already know. Whurd starts with Windows and waits in the tray until you need it.

  • Hold-to-talk with a keep-going lock key
  • Soft audio cues when recording starts and stops
  • Esc to cancel whenever the mic is hot

It spells your world correctly.

Teach Whurd your product names, teammates, and jargon once. They come out right every time, in both transcription and formatting.

  • Custom vocabulary biases the whole pipeline
  • Snippets: say "insert my sign-off", paste a saved block
  • 99 languages, one hotkey

Every word, a search away.

Each dictation is saved locally and searchable, tagged with the app and style it was written for. Copy anything back with one click.

  • Full-text search across everything you've said
  • Stored on your machine, never on ours
  • Privacy Mode keeps history off-disk entirely
§ 06The bindings

Ten palettes.
Pick your ink.

A lighter dark default, brighter palettes, and the waveform style you want sitting at the bottom of your screen.

Obsidian · soft charcoal, ember glow

themes and waveforms ship with the app · switch any time in Style

§ 07The fine print, enlarged

Your voice doesn't stick around.

No data theater. Here is exactly what happens to your audio and your words.

Audio is transcribed, then discarded

Your voice is converted to text and dropped. Never stored on our servers, never used to train models.

History stays on your machine

Dictations and stats live in a local folder you control, not on our servers.

Training opt-in is off by default

We don't train on your content unless you explicitly turn that on yourself.

Privacy Mode on every plan

Flip it on and history never touches disk. Included in the free tier.

The privacy policy explains the limited services that process audio and text. Everything is encrypted in transit, and Enterprise plans can include custom data-processing agreements.
