Release list
WhistleType 1.1.0
Local push-to-talk dictation for Windows. Hold F8, speak, release — the text appears where your cursor is. Speech never leaves your PC.
Highlights
- FAST — Cactus Compute Whistle on the CPU: ~0.1 s for a short phrase, ~40 MB RAM, 0 % CPU when idle.
- ACCURATE — OpenAI Whisper (whisper.cpp) on your NVIDIA GPU (optional 675 MB GPU pack), CPU fallback. On real Polish speech large-v3-turbo makes ~6× fewer word errors than Whistle (WER 5.7 % vs 35.5 %, FLEURS pl).
- AUTO (default) — ACCURATE when Whisper is ready on the GPU, otherwise FAST.
- Speech models window: download / delete models and the GPU pack (pinned URLs, SHA-256 verified, nothing downloaded without your click).
- Clipboard backup & restore, admin-window handling, custom vocabulary, Polish / English interface, overlay that never steals focus.
