Skill · how the AI rewrites your transcript

Loading skills…

Record something first, then apply a skill to rewrite it.

01/ 03

Press the shortcut

Works in the app you're already in: Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, a form on a random site. One global hotkey, no context switch.

02/ 03

Say it the messy way

Ramble, backtrack, think out loud. Our AI strips fillers, fixes punctuation, rewrites the rough edges, and keeps your voice.

03/ 03

Clean text, at the cursor

The finished sentence lands exactly where you were typing. No copy-paste dance, no extra tab to manage, no rhythm broken.

Why Shadow Whisper

Voice-to-text done right, without the enterprise bill or the local-model headaches.

The big names charge for screens you'll never open. The 'run-it-yourself' path costs CPU, battery, and a weekend you won't get back. Shadow Whisper hits the gap: the polish of paid tools, the honesty of open-source, and zero maintenance burden on you.

Alternative

Local Whisper

Price
Looks free. Costs you CPU, battery, and a weekend of setup.
Setup
Install models, dependencies, mic permissions, prompt templates.
Output quality
Raw transcription with every "um" and half-finished thought attached.
Maintenance
Something breaks every OS update. You are the support team.

Our take

Shadow Whisper

Price
Flat rate. Predictable, transparent — no tiers, no tricks. See pricing below.
Setup
Install, pick a shortcut, start dictating. That's the setup.
Output quality
AI cleanup by default: fillers out, punctuation in, tone matched.
Maintenance
Zero. It auto-updates and stays out of the way.

Alternative

Premium cloud tools

Price
$12–$15/mo at the low end, climbing fast on annual plans.
Setup
Account, workspace, onboarding screens before you even speak.
Output quality
Great, but you're paying a premium for features you never use.
Maintenance
Stable, but entirely dependent on their uptime and roadmap.

WhatsApp & sales

Sell on WhatsApp by speaking

Your customer doesn't want a 3-minute voice note. Say what you mean and Shadow Whisper sends clean text in the right tone — close faster, without typing.

Email

Clear your inbox by speaking

That pile of emails stalling your day? Reply at the speed of speech: you talk, the AI cleans and formats. No more staring at the screen building sentences.

Tired wrists

Write all day without pain

Tendinitis, RSI, hands sore from too much typing — that's exactly why Shadow Whisper was built. Give your fingers a break: speak and the text appears, in any app.

Social media

Post without staring at the cursor

You've got the idea but freeze when it's time to write it "nicely". Say it out loud and Shadow Whisper rewrites it into a sharp line, ready to post.

The whole product fits in one pill, and a few quiet places you'll only visit when you want to.

No busy dashboard. Just a recording pill that lives out of the way, a home screen for your usage, and a history you can search when you need to reuse a good sentence.
