Built for You.
Designed to adapt. Built to last.
Build your own word replacement dictionary with smart matching. Teach Iron Whisper your names, jargon, and specialist terms. Corrections happen instantly — before the text ever reaches your screen.
Four live on-screen waveform styles to choose from: Plasma, DNA Helix, String Theory, and Sonic River. See your voice in real time while you dictate.
Set your own keyboard shortcut on any platform. On PC, you can also use a game controller for push-to-talk — bind any button on any device, from racing wheels to custom button boxes.
Add unlimited connections — local or cloud. New transcription services launch all the time. Connect them in seconds. Your setup, your rules, your choice of provider.
Your Privacy, Fortified.
Audio captured, processed, and discarded entirely in memory. Never written to disk. Never stored. Never logged.
Cloud transcription secured via TLS 1.3 between you and your chosen provider. Your data is encrypted in transit.
Using paid API keys? Most providers offer training opt-out options. Your conversations stay private — check your provider's data policy for details.
