What happens when typing gets out of the way

Voice input should be effortless. Waffler handles transcription, cleanup, and pasting — you just speak.

Global Hotkey

Press your hotkey from any app. Waffler activates instantly — no window switching needed.

Whisper Transcription

Powered by OpenAI's Whisper model for accurate speech-to-text in dozens of languages.

AI Cleanup

GPT automatically cleans up filler words, false starts, and grammar — so your text reads like you typed it.

Auto-Paste

Transcribed text is automatically pasted into whatever app you're working in. Zero friction.

BYOK Privacy

Bring your own OpenAI API key. Your audio and text go directly to OpenAI — never through our servers.

Cross-Platform

Native apps for both macOS and Windows. Same great experience on your preferred OS.

Your voice, your rules

Whether you're writing an email, dumping thoughts, or prompting an AI — Waffler adapts to your workflow.

Normal

Free Trial

Clean, faithful dictation. Say what you mean, get polished text with filler words and false starts removed.

You say:

"So um I wanted to say that the meeting is uh moved to Thursday at like 3pm"

Waffler outputs:

The meeting is moved to Thursday at 3pm.

Ramble

Pro

ADHD-friendly brain dumps. Speak freely and messily — Waffler restructures your scattered thoughts into clear, organized text.

You say:

"ok so basically I have this idea where we could like do a thing where the app sends notifications but not annoying ones more like helpful reminders and maybe we could tie it into the calendar somehow I dunno"

Waffler outputs:

Feature idea: Smart notification system that sends helpful (non-intrusive) reminders, potentially integrated with the user's calendar.

Agentic Engineer

Pro

Voice-to-engineering prompts. Describe what you want to build, and Waffler crafts a structured prompt ready for AI coding tools.

You say:

"I need a react component that shows a list of users with their avatars and you can click to expand their profile details and it should use that accordion pattern"

Waffler outputs:

Create a React component `UserList` that renders an array of users. Each item displays: avatar (circular, 40px), full name, and role. Clicking a row expands an accordion panel showing: email, join date, and bio. Use Radix UI Accordion primitive. Props: `users: User[]`. Include TypeScript types.

We never hear you. By design.

Privacy isn't a feature — it's how Waffler is built.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Waffler. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?
Yes. Waffler uses your own OpenAI API key for both Whisper transcription and GPT text cleanup. This means your data goes directly to OpenAI and never passes through our servers. You can get an API key at platform.openai.com.
How does Waffler protect my privacy?
Your audio is sent directly from your machine to OpenAI using your own API key. We never see, store, or process your audio or transcriptions. There's no account required to download, and we don't collect any usage data from the app.
What happens when the free trial expires?
After the 7-day trial, Normal mode stops working until you purchase Waffler Pro ($29 one-time). You'll never lose access to your settings or API key configuration — just unlock to keep transcribing.
Does Waffler work offline?
Waffler requires an internet connection since it sends audio to OpenAI's Whisper API for transcription and uses GPT for text cleanup. The app itself runs locally, but the AI processing happens in the cloud via your API key.
What languages are supported?
Waffler supports all languages that OpenAI's Whisper model supports — over 50 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and many more. Language is auto-detected from your speech.
Does it work with every app?
Yes! Waffler works system-wide. The global hotkey activates from any application, and the transcribed text is automatically pasted wherever your cursor is — text editors, browsers, Slack, email, IDEs, you name it.
Is there a Linux version?
Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. Currently Waffler is available for macOS and Windows. Follow us on GitHub for updates on Linux support.
What's the difference between Normal and Ramble mode?
Normal mode gives you clean, faithful transcription of what you said. Ramble mode is designed for ADHD-friendly brain dumps — speak freely and messily, and the AI restructures your thoughts into clear, organized text. Great for getting ideas out of your head fast.
