Murmur v1.2.1
Fully local Windows dictation — press F1, talk, it types. No Python, no dependencies, no cloud.
Install
- Download
Murmur-release.zipbelow and extract it to a user-writable folder (not Program Files) - Run
Murmur.exe— first run downloads a Whisper model intomodels/ - Press F1, talk, pause — it types into whatever window is focused
SmartScreen: the exe is not code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway.
New in 1.2.1 — better for AMD / CPU-only machines
- Whisper model picker in the UI: switch models from a dropdown (Distil Large v3.5, Large v3, Turbo, Medium/Small/Base EN) — no config editing. Models download automatically on first use.
- Hardware auto-detect: NVIDIA GPU → the big distil model on CUDA. AMD/Intel/no GPU →
small.enon CPU automatically, which is near-real-time on a modern CPU (previously the large model crawled at several seconds per phrase). - GPU/CPU badge shows which hardware is actually transcribing. AMD/Intel GPUs can't accelerate inference yet (CUDA-only engine); a Vulkan backend is planned.
From 1.2.0
- Raw mode default (no local LLM required), redesigned UI, CPU fallback, orphan-process and crash fixes, self-contained ~1GB download.
