01

Private

All processing happens on your machine. No cloud, no accounts, no data collection. Your words never leave your device. No internet required after activation.

02

Fast

Real-time local transcription, tuned to your hardware. The Parakeet engine runs on an NVIDIA GPU or plain CPU — text appears as you speak, not after you stop. On Windows you also get AMD and Intel GPU acceleration via DirectML, plus an optional faster-whisper CUDA engine for sub-second latency on NVIDIA cards.

03

Simple

Works in any text field, any app. No window switching, no copy-pasting. Hold CapsLock, speak, release. Toggle mode for longer sessions. CapsLock is fully suppressed — no more accidentally shouting in group chats.

04

Adaptive

Speakey learns your vocabulary. Names, jargon, and technical terms that get mistranscribed once get corrected automatically next time. Click any word to see phonetic suggestions from your dictionary. Add replacement rules, organize by category, and import word lists. Everything hot-reloads — no restart needed. Browse vocabulary packs →

05

Multilingual

Supports 25 languages out of the box — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Romanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Hungarian, and more. Switch languages in settings, no extra downloads required.

// your data stays yours

Nothing phones home.

Speakey never sends audio, transcripts, or usage data anywhere. No telemetry. No analytics. The only network calls the app makes are:

  • License validation check
  • Transcription model download
  • Optional auto-update check

After that, disconnect your internet and it all works the same.

Session history is fully configurable. Keep it for the session, persist it across restarts, or disable it entirely. Every entry can be individually edited or deleted. Nothing is stored that you don't choose to keep.

Okay yeah, let's go with that approach and see how it performs in staging.
2:44 PM
Go ahead and merge that pull request. I've reviewed the changes and everything looks good to ship.
2:41 PM
One thing worth noting is that the latency numbers we're seeing in production are significantly better than expected.
2:38 PM
I think the best approach here is to refactor the data layer so we can support both real-time and batch processing.
2:34 PM
The next thing I'd like to consider is how we handle the edge cases in the authentication flow.
2:31 PM
Let me start by reviewing the current implementation of the session manager and identify bottlenecks.
2:28 PM
We should also consider adding retry logic for the webhook delivery in case the downstream service is temporarily unavailable.
2:24 PM
The database migration looks clean. Let's schedule it for the next maintenance window.
