How it works
Three keys.
-
01
Press a hotkey.
A global shortcut you set, anywhere on Windows. Same key whether you are in your editor, your browser, your email client.
-
02
Speak.
The transcription model runs locally on your PC. No round-trip to a server. Nothing waits on a network.
-
03
Text appears.
Whatever app currently has focus, that is where the text lands. No paste step, no copy step, no extra window.
Inside the box
Built for real work.
Everything below ships in the live app today.
Local ASR
Whisper-class accuracy, on-device. Works offline. Audio never leaves the machine.
Hotkey to any app
Global Windows shortcut. Text lands wherever the cursor is.
Custom vocabulary
Add the names, acronyms and jargon the model would otherwise mangle.
History & re-transcribe
Every recording stays on your PC. Re-run the transcription with a different model or prompt.
File transcription
Drop in an audio file. Get a transcript out. Same engine, batch mode.
Modes
Switch profiles for chat, code, or longform. Each one tunes punctuation and formatting differently.
System-audio capture
Transcribe what the speakers play, not just the microphone. Useful for calls and videos.

Why this price
Productivity software trends towards £10 a month, forever, with a dashboard chasing your usage. Utterbar costs the same as a little under four months of that, and then it stops asking.
The studio is one person. The price reflects the cost of building quality software, not the cost of acquiring you.
