Dictation software
for Windows
WhisperJot is dictation software for Windows that types into every focused app. It is private by default and works offline with the local engines, with custom vocabulary and filler removal included for $99/year.
Made for Windows
A complete desktop dictation workflow.
Private by default
The local engines transcribe on your Windows PC, so audio stays on the machine by default and dictation continues without an internet connection.
Vocabulary that learns your terms
Add names, specialist language, and product terms to custom vocabulary so the words you use regularly arrive with the spelling you expect.
Cleaner text as you speak
Automatic punctuation and filler-word removal turn a spoken draft into workable text while voice commands add structure such as a new paragraph.
Beyond the built-in dictation
WhisperJot adds local engine choices, custom vocabulary, local history, and per-app controls while keeping the familiar hotkey-to-text workflow.
Compatibility
Windows system requirements.
| Component | Windows requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Minimum: Windows 10 (64-bit, 22H2). Recommended: Windows 11. |
| Architecture | Minimum: x64 (ARM64 not yet supported). Recommended: x64. |
| Processor | Minimum: Modern quad-core CPU. Recommended: Modern 8-core CPU; speech models run on the CPU. |
| Memory | Minimum: 8 GB RAM. Recommended: 16 GB+ RAM. |
| Free disk space | Minimum: ~3 GB. Recommended: 10 GB+. |
| Runtime | Self-contained build — no separate .NET install required |
| Internet | Only for the one-time model download (and the optional Jot Cloud engine, if you use it) — local dictation works fully offline |
On first use, Jot Local downloads a speech model of about 2.3 GB; afterward, local dictation works offline. Below the specs? The opt-in Jot Cloud engine runs on anything with an internet connection and avoids that local model download. It operates only while selected, and audio is never stored on our servers.

Does WhisperJot for Windows work offline and keep dictation private?
Yes. WhisperJot is private by default, and its local engines transcribe on your Windows PC without an internet connection after the model download. Jot Cloud is opt-in, operates only while selected, and audio is never stored on our servers.
What are the Windows system requirements for WhisperJot?
WhisperJot supports Windows 10 64-bit version 22H2 or later on x64, with Windows 11 recommended. It needs at least 8 GB RAM, a modern quad-core CPU, and about 3 GB of free disk space. ARM64 is not yet supported.
How is WhisperJot different from the built-in dictation on Windows?
Both provide a quick way to turn speech into text. WhisperJot adds private-by-default offline local engines, custom vocabulary, filler-word removal, local transcription history, and per-app controls while typing into whichever desktop app currently has focus.
How much does WhisperJot cost, and which platforms are included?
One $99/year plan covers macOS, Windows, and Linux, so you do not need a separate subscription for each computer platform. There is no free tier. Before subscribing, you can try the 30-second browser demo to see how WhisperJot handles your voice.
