Frequently asked questions

What is Speecholo?

Speecholo is a desktop application that runs in the background and converts your speech to text in any application. Long-press a hotkey, speak, and the transcribed text is pasted wherever your cursor is.

Which languages are supported?

Speecholo supports 6 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Language detection is handled by Whisper with high accuracy.

Is my voice data private?

Yes. When using local models, all processing happens on your machine. Nothing leaves your computer. If you choose to use cloud AI models, data is sent directly to the provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) using your own API keys.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Speecholo works fully offline with local Whisper models. An internet connection is only needed if you choose to use cloud-based AI features.

Which apps does Speecholo work with?

Speecholo works system-wide. Any application with a text field is supported: email clients, browsers, chat apps, code editors, documents, and more.

How does AI text processing work?

Configure your API key for GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini in the settings. Then dictate commands like "Write me an email that..." or "Summarize this text..." and the AI will process your request.
