VoicePad turns your voice into text on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android — 100% offline. Powered by Whisper AI, runs entirely on your device. The Orb floats over every app: tap, speak, text lands where your cursor is. Works in Gmail, Word, WhatsApp, your IDE — anywhere. No subscription. No cloud. No account. Free for the first 1,000 founding members. Built solo by a German bike mechanic who couldn't type with greasy hands.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
VoicePad AI turns your voice into text, instantly, on any device — and it does it 100% offline.
What it does: You talk, it types. Real-time dictation that drops clean text wherever you need it — documents, emails, chat, notes, code comments, forms. The speech recognition (Whisper) runs locally on your own hardware, so there's no lag waiting on a server and nothing ever leaves your machine.
Where you use it:
Windows & Mac — dictate into any window. Write emails, reports, messages by voice instead of typing.
Android & iOS — same engine in your pocket.
VoicePad Direct (Android) — a full voice keyboard. Tap the mic, speak, and your words land straight into any app — WhatsApp, Gmail, notes, search bars — no copy-paste, no switching apps. Live on the Play Store.
Why it's different:
Fully offline. No internet, no account, no telemetry, nothing uploaded. Your voice stays on your device — the whole point for anyone handling private or client data.
One-time payment. Buy once, own it. No subscription.
All four platforms, built by one developer from scratch.
English + German, language always forced for accuracy (no auto-detect guessing).

VoicePad — We're alive, we grow, we create.
Offline Whisper on-device is exactly the tradeoff I want — cloud dictation means my IDE comments and DMs leave the machine, which is a non-starter for me. Which Whisper size ships by default, and is it quantized enough to stay usable on an older laptop with no GPU? And when the Orb drops text at the cursor, is that going through the OS accessibility API so it works in sandboxed apps, or synthetic keystrokes?
The floating Orb is such a smart idea — flicked it on in VS Code and it just dumped clean text right where my cursor sat, no fuss. Love that it's fully offline too.
