WhisperBar recognizes the most important languages — with the right model for each.
No. You only need internet once to download the Whisper model. After that, WhisperBar works completely offline.
For German and other European languages we recommend "Small". For Japanese and Chinese, use "Medium" or larger. For maximum accuracy, choose "Large v3".
Yes. WhisperBar inserts text via the Accessibility API and works in any app with a text field — Notes, Mail, Safari, Slack, VS Code and more.
No. WhisperBar costs a one-time €9.99. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no hidden fees. All future updates are included.
WhisperBar requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later.
WhisperBar runs on all M-series Macs — M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and future Apple Silicon chips. Intel Macs are not supported. We recommend at least 8 GB of RAM, as WhisperBar uses the larger Whisper Large V3 Turbo model for better accuracy.
