Voice dictation for desktop that cleans up filler words and works inside any app.
EchoWrite is a Windows and Mac dictation app that turns spoken words into formatted text inside whatever program you're using, from code editors to chat apps. It strips out filler words like 'um' automatically, and a paid tier adds custom text-transform prompts and real-time translation. The free tier runs fully offline with a local speech model or your own OpenAI key, so there's no subscription requirement to use it. It's built by an indie maker called Muware and sold as a yearly license or one-time lifetime purchase rather than a recurring plan.
Free tier requires your own OpenAI key or a local model; the paid tier is billed yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
Use tool ↗EchoWrite works well as a lightweight dictation layer for anyone who already has an OpenAI key or is comfortable running a local speech model, since it types straight into whatever app is focused. The catch is that its free tier isn't self-contained — you still need to supply a key or download a local model, and the more interesting features sit behind the paid tiers.
Watch out: The 'free forever' tier isn't turnkey — you still have to bring your own OpenAI key or set up a local model yourself.
