Press F9 to start, speak, press F9 again to stop — or rebind to any key you like. Bzz transcribes locally on your machine; your audio never leaves your computer. Optional AI rewrite, your provider, your choice.
Free trial · no credit card · no word caps · audio stays on your machine
Audio processed on your machine. Never streamed.
No setting to flip. No retention dial to misread.
Your transcripts are yours. We never train on them.
No hidden subscriptions. No surprise tiers.
Fits the way you already work. No new app to learn.
Three things make Bzz different from every other dictation tool on the market.
Transcription runs on your machine with a local Whisper model. Audio is never uploaded, never streamed, never logged on our servers. Period.
Other tools limit free users to 2,000 words a week — roughly 15 minutes of speaking. We don't meter your words because we don't have to. Dictate all day.
Bundled local LLM for privacy, or BYOK Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini for quality, or skip the AI step entirely. You pick.
Real numbers from daily use — not a demo, not projections.
See the data-handling table, the privacy-first architecture diagram, and how Bzz is designed to support HIPAA-regulated environments.
We're looking for early users to join our Discord and help shape Bzz. Tell us what works, what's missing, what's annoying — and we'll build accordingly. Free trial, no credit card, no word caps, your audio stays on your machine.
