Fully local Windows dictation — press F1, talk, it types. No Python, no dependencies, no cloud.

Install

  1. Download Murmur-release.zip below and extract it to a user-writable folder (not Program Files)
  2. Run Murmur.exe — first run downloads a Whisper model into models/
  3. 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.en on 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.
