## What is Lisper?

Lisper turns your voice into text entirely on your device. No cloud, no account, no subscription — powered by Whisper, Apple silicon, and nothing else.

Speak. Text appears. Your audio never leaves your Mac or iPhone.

WHY LISPER

• 100% on-device: the Whisper speech model ships inside the app. Transcription works in airplane mode.
• No analytics or tracking: audio and transcripts stay on your device.
• Pay once: 5 free minutes of dictation to try it, then a single one-time unlock covers both Mac and iPhone (Family Sharing supported). No subscription, ever.
• Multilingual: dictate in dozens of languages, transcribed locally.

ON MAC

• Press ⌥ Space anywhere, speak, and your words are copied ready to paste into any app.
• Dictation modes label and organize your local transcripts for different destinations. Create your own labels and custom hotkeys.
• Lives quietly in your menu bar with a minimal heads-up display while you speak.
• A timeline keeps your dictation history, grouped by day — stored only on your Mac, and only if you want it.

ON IPHONE

• Dictate from the Dynamic Island: start with the Action Button or a Shortcut and watch Lisper listen, process, and deliver — without opening the app.
• Use the Lisper keyboard to insert your latest transcript in other apps, or paste when direct insertion is unavailable.
• Shortcuts support: Lisper Listen, Quick Dictation to Clipboard, Dictate a Lisper Note, and more — useful with the Action Button or Back Tap.
• Your notes live in a clean timeline, grouped by day.

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE

Lisper has no transcription server. The speech model runs on your device. Recordings are processed and discarded; transcripts are saved only on your device.

PRICING, PLAINLY

Lisper is free to try for 5 minutes of dictation. One purchase unlocks unlimited dictation on Mac and iPhone — buy it like a screwdriver, own it forever.

Lisper needs microphone access to hear you (only while dictation is active) and works best on Apple silicon.
