Use tool ↗About Whisperly
Whisperly is a dictation app for macOS and Windows. You press a hotkey, speak, and the transcribed text appears wherever your cursor is, whether that's an email, a chat window, or a code editor. Rather than a raw transcript, it offers three output modes: verbatim text, a cleaned-up version that removes filler words while keeping your phrasing, and a translation mode. It supports close to 99 languages with auto-detection and lets users maintain a custom vocabulary for names or jargon it would otherwise mishear. The company states it does not store audio or use it to train models. It is run by a sole proprietor registered in Uzbekistan.

Pros & cons of Whisperly
Whisperly is a straightforward dictation tool aimed at people who type slower than they think, with a cleanup mode that's genuinely useful for turning rambling speech into readable text. It's a one-person operation without an enterprise track record, which matters if you're evaluating it for a team rather than personal use.
Pros
- Works inside any text field across dozens of apps rather than a single editor
- Three distinct modes (raw, cleaned-up, translate) instead of one fixed output style
- Custom vocabulary support for names and technical terms
- Free tier gives 2,000 words a week with no time limit
Cons
- Run by a single proprietor, not a company with a dedicated support team
- No Linux or mobile support
Best for
- writers and non-native speakers who compose faster by talking
- developers who want voice input inside their existing editor or terminal
- anyone tired of retyping filler-word-heavy voice memos
Not for
- teams needing admin controls, SSO, or vendor security audits
- users on Linux, since only macOS and Windows are supported
