SOVEREIGN SPEECH RECOGNITION
"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house."
Build your own tools. Run them locally. Free your mind.
📡 The Transmission
We live in an era of enclosure. Our words, our thoughts, and our digital footprints are strip-mined by centralized giants, turned into capital, and sold back to us as "convenience."
Whisper Voice is a rejection of that contract.
It is built on the axiom that your voice belongs to you. By bringing state-of-the-art inference down from the server farms and running it on your own metal, we reclaim a small piece of the digital commons. This software answers to no one but you. It has no telemetry, no subscription, and no masters.
⚡ The Engine
This operates on the silicon. It is not a wrapper. It is a machine.
| Component | Technology | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Inference Core | Faster-Whisper | Hyper-optimized implementation via CTranslate2. Delivers 4x velocity over standard PyTorch execution. |
| Compression | INT8 quantization | Enables Pro-grade models (Large-v3) to run on consumer hardware, democratizing access to high-fidelity AI. |
| Sensory Gate | Silero VAD | Enterprise-grade Voice Activity Detection filters out the noise, ensuring only intent is captured. |
| Interface | Qt 6 / QML | Hardware-accelerated, glassmorphic UI that is fluid, responsive, and sovereign. |
🌎 Universal Translator
Whisper Voice v1.0.1 introduces a Neural Translation Engine built directly into the core. It bypasses the need for corporate translation APIs entirely.
- Input: Speak in French, Japanese, Russian, or 96 other languages.
- Output: The engine instantly reconstructs the semantic meaning in fluent English.
- Local Execution: No API keys. No data leaks. The translation happens on your GPU.
Dual-Channel Workflow
The application listens on two separate channels simultaneously, allowing for seamless fluid switching between local and international communication.
- F9 (Default) -> Transcribe: Types exactly what you say, in the language you speak.
- F10 (Default) -> Translate: Translates whatever you say in any language into English.
🕹️ Command & Control
Global Hotkeys
The agent runs silently in the background, waiting for your signal.
- Transcribe (F9): Opens the channel for standard speech-to-text.
- Translate (F10): Opens the channel for neural translation.
- Customization: Remap these keys in Settings. The recorder supports complex chords (e.g.
Ctrl + Alt + Space) to fit your workflow.
Injection Protocols
- Clipboard Paste: Standard text injection. Instant, reliable.
- Simulate Typing: Mimics physical keystrokes at superhuman speed (6000 CPM). Bypasses anti-paste restrictions and "protected" windows.

~2 GB | ~4 GB | ⚖️ Balanced | Complex vocabulary, foreign accents. |
Large-v3 Turbo |
~4 GB | ~6 GB | ✨ Optimal | The Sweet Spot. Near-Large intelligence, Medium speed. |
Large-v3 |
~5 GB | ~8 GB | 🧠 Maximum | Professional grade. Uncompromised. |
Note: Acceleration requires you to manually select your Compute Device (CUDA GPU or CPU) in Settings.
🛠️ Deployment
📥 Installation
- Acquire: Download
WhisperVoice.exefrom Releases. - Deploy: Place it anywhere. It is portable.
- Bootstrap: Run it. The agent will self-provision an isolated Python runtime (~2GB) on first launch.
- Sync: Future updates are handled by the Smart Bootstrapper, which surgically updates only changed files, respecting your bandwidth and your settings.
🔧 Troubleshooting
- App crashes on start: Ensure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 installed.
- "Simulate Typing" is slow: Some applications (remote desktops, legacy games) cannot handle the data stream. Lower the typing speed in Settings to ~1200 CPM.
- No Audio: The agent listens to the Default Communication Device. Verify your Windows Sound Control Panel.
<EFBFBD> Supported Languages
The engine understands the following 99 languages. You can lock the focus to a specific language in Settings to improve accuracy, or rely on Auto-Detect for fluid multilingual usage.
