Whisperly
Overview
Whisperly is a tool designed to convert spoken language into clean, written text on Mac devices. The tool smoothly transforms raw speech, including jargon and idiosyncrasies, into coherent sentences that preserve the tone and individuality of the speaker.
Whisperly lives in the menu bar of the user's device, working in the background until invoked with a hotkey. Once triggered, the user speaks, and Whisperly transforms the spoken language into written text, which is then pasted at the location of the user's cursor.
The tool is particularly nimble; it can transfer speech into text within any application where text insertion is permissible, including chat boxes, emails, and search bars.
A compelling feature of Whisperly is that it learns a user's vocabulary, ensuring names, brands, and jargon are accurately presented. The tool offers a 'Pro' version that provides enhancements like unlimited words, translation features, control over tone, and a virtually unbounded vocabulary.
Security is a priority for Whisperly; user audio is not stored and is used solely for transcription before being discarded.

Mery🙏 82 karmaMay 16, 2025@AssemblyAIOne of the most accurate API's I've used for speech to text and summarization. Cost effective w/ bulk contracts too. -
Unlimited transcripts, summaries, 99.8% accuracy, speaker recognition, superfastI already have another transcription tool, but this one is much better. I love the different features such as the summary, quiz, and chapters. It does a great job of them. I've only done one transcript so far to try it out, but I'm truly impressed and am going to grab another code. A couple things that would make it even better are: - the ability to rename the files and organize them through folders. - the ability to download a copy of the other features as well as the transcript. Copying and pasting it works, but doesn't keep the format. -
🎯 3 free transcripts every day. 🔥 Unlimited transcription starting at $10/mo.No other tool quite like this, it's pretty straightforward. Needed to extract a long interview from YouTube and it extracted everything, providing it in different meaningful formats in less than two minutes. Awesome
