FOSS Voquill

Truly free & open-source offline dictation that types into any app. Voice-to-text runs locally so your data never leaves your device.

Linux
Windows

Voquill listens while you hold push-to-talk, transcribes when you release, and writes the result exactly where your cursor is. It types like a keyboard, so it works anywhere and everywhere across your system. Free and open source with Windows and Linux support, it runs locally on your device so your voice and transcriptions stay private.

Truly Free

GNU AGPLv3 licensed and completely free to use. No subscriptions, no accounts, and no "Pro" tiers—just a powerful tool that belongs to everyone.

100% Private

Your voice stays on your device. Everything is processed locally by Whisper.cpp so your data stays yours. Cloud processing is available as an optional extra if you choose to use it.

Open Source

Transparent, secure, and community-driven. Built with high-performance technology to ensure FOSS Voquill stays fast and entirely under your control.

FOSS Voquill is the original project, first published in July 2025 by Jack Brumley and built to give back to the open-source community.
