Local-first voice dictation that puts polished text directly into the application where your cursor already is - built originally to remove friction from AI-heavy development work.
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.
Bzz began as a tool to make requirements, prompts, tickets and ideas faster to express. It stands on its own as a general productivity application.
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.
